“Fortnite OG” was already playable as a temporary event last November. Now the game mode is clearly intended to become a permanent part of the “Fortnite” universe. “Fortnite OG” recreates the battle royale shooter as it was playable when it launched in 2018: with old playing cards and old loot.
“Fortnite” came to market in 2017 with the addition of “Save the World” to its name. The basic game mode combines survival elements with tower defense gameplay. In 2018, “Fortnite” celebrated huge success with the release of the Battle Royale game mode. This game mode has evolved extensively in recent years and has changed every season. With “Fortnite OG” he returns to its original version from 2018.

business of nostalgia
While “Fortnite OG” plays at 2018 levels in terms of gameplay and content, the game mode benefits from the technical improvements to Unreal Engine 5 that Epic Games has since implemented. This includes, among other things, realistic lighting through lumens.
“Fortnite” isn’t the only game that apparently stirs gaming nostalgia: just a few days ago, Blizzard announced “Overwatch Classic.” Several events are planned in which players can relive the most important milestones in the history of development. And “World of Warcraft” was already so old in 2019 that it was worth running an online role-playing game in parallel with “WoW Classic”, where players can experience the early version 1.12.
