As the Fortnite community eagerly anticipates the arrival of Chapter 5, one question looms large: Will OG Fortnite remain a part of the game? Recent leaks suggest that the nostalgic journey into Fortnite's original gameplay, dubbed Fortnite OG, may be coming to an end.

Fortnite OG's Farewell as Chapter 5 Dawns

According to a tweet from the renowned leakers HYPEX and NotPalo, Fortnite does not plan to keep Fortnite OG beyond the launch of Chapter 5.

This news might come as a disappointment to many fans who have relished the return to the game's roots. Fortnite OG, known for its classic map and gameplay mechanics, evokes fond memories of Fortnite's earlier days.

It represents a simpler, more nostalgic era of the game, before the numerous updates and expansions that have shaped Fortnite into the dynamic, ever-evolving platform it is today.

However, with the end of Fortnite OG on the horizon, the community's focus now shifts to what Chapter 5 will bring. Leaks and rumors have been circulating, hinting at an array of new features, including a crossover with LEGO, a rhythm game mode, and even a racing mode influenced by Rocket League. Chapter 5 is expected to launch on December 3rd, 2023, marking the start of a new era for Fortnite.

While the farewell to Fortnite OG might be bittersweet for some, the future of Fortnite looks bright and full of possibilities. The game's developers continue to innovate and expand the Fortnite universe, ensuring that the game remains fresh and engaging for its global audience.

As we say goodbye to Fortnite OG, we look forward to the exciting new adventures that Chapter 5 has in store.
