The wait is over. The OG Chapter 1 map will finally return in Chapter 4 Season 5. We are hyped!
Fortnite, developed by Epic Games, came on to the scene initially as a co-op survival game. However, it truly took off with the release of its free Battle Royale mode, where 100 players fought to be the last one standing on a vibrant island.
