A true original.
Chapter 4 Season OG is live now in Fortnite! A brand new Fortnite update today (3rd November) – v27.00 – has added the hotly anticipated new season into the game, bringing back a version of the game’s original map lifted from Chapter 1 Season 5 along with a whole host of returning weapons and more.
The new OG Pass and OG Shop have also been (re?) introduced, bringing new mashups of classic skins, returning skins that you know and love from days gone by, and more nostalgia-inducing treats.
Over the next few weeks, Epic Games is promising weekly updates that jump the game forward in time by a whole season, unvaulting more classic battle royale action that has otherwise been lost to time up to Season X.
Read on for the full list of patch notes for the Fortnite update today (3rd November) and to see what’s changed in v27.00.
What changed in the Fortnite update today?
The main attraction of the new Fortnite update today is the re-introduction of a version of the game’s original map (where we dropping? Tilted Towers?) and the beginning of Chapter 4 Season OG. The nostalgia hunters of you out there have a lot to look forward to over the next few weeks.
Classic weapons and items have been unvaulted to use on the new (old) map, including the Assault Rifle, Pump Shotgun, Hunting Rifle, Boogie Bomb, and Shopping Cart.
In terms of the OG battle pass, you’ll have until 3rd December 2023 at 2am (yes, it’s a shorter season) to unlock Lil Split, Renegade Lynx, Omegarok, and Spectra Knight skins – mashups of old favourites.
You can see some of the classic map, skins, and weapons in action as part of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season OG in the official gameplay trailer below:
