OG Fortnite fans, get ready for the ultimate throwback. The beloved Chapter One map is making a comeback in the upcoming season of Fortnite.
The hints and teasers for the return of the original battle island started appearing on October 10th. The recent Fortnitemares event update added props from Chapter One, season five to Frenzy Fields and even changed the lobby background to match the game’s launch date on July 12, 2018. The official Fortnite Twitter account also changed its location to that same date.
Epic Games has been sending gift packages to content creators, thanking them for being part of Fortnite’s origins and hinting at the opportunity to start again. These actions have further fueled speculation about the return of the Chapter One map.
Now, with the latest developments in the v26.30 content patch, it seems like the return of the original map is imminent. Two major changes have been observed on the Chapter Four, season four map.
Firstly, five digital billboards in MEGA City now display images of the aqua-blue sky from Chapter One, season five. To ensure players don’t miss the message, these billboards also play the classic OG Fortnite lobby music when approached.
Secondly, Frenzy Fields appears to be emptier than usual. Agent Jones seems to have used Kado Thorne’s time machine to take the old props back to Chapter One, creating a nostalgic atmosphere.
All signs point to Chapter Four, season five taking players on a rapid and nostalgic ride through Fortnite’s golden age. While it remains to be seen how closely the upcoming updates will recreate the original experience, players can expect to revisit familiar pastures in the next season.
