When is the Fortnite Chapter 6 OG release date? Fortnite Chapter 6 is here, bringing Japanese popular culture legends to the Fortnite island for the first time. But that’s not all that’s coming this season, as the OG OG returns – for good.

The new Fortnite chapter is already showering us with new content, as cute sprites run around the map, Shogun threatens our survival, and terrifying Oni masks protect this season’s bosses in the battle royale game. Alongside all this, Epic Games is bringing the OG map back again, and this time it’s staying. Here’s what we know so far about the return of OG Fortnite.

Fortnite OG release date

Fortnite OG returns on December 6, 2024, alongside Chapter 6 Season 1, and is here to stay. We don’t yet know what this means, but presumably the OG map will run along future Chapter maps.

An official tweet from the Fortnite X profile confirms that OG is back and that it is here to stay. The tweet goes on to say that we can “relive the Battle Royale from the start and explore the OG map, collect OG loot, and relive OG seasons.” This suggests to us that the popular OG map will now be a permanent mode that slowly moves through the earliest Fortnite seasons.
