Fortnite OG has made its return with Season 3, bringing new loot and a live event featuring the meteor that appeared at the end of Season 2. The mode, which takes players back to the original version of Fortnite from 2018, has been a hit with longtime fans. But following two fairly stagnant seasons on that front, Epic Games seems prepared to invigorate the experience.
Fortnite OG Season 3 Introduces Meteor Event, Map Changes, and Classic Loot for a Nostalgic Experience
Fortnite OG was effectively unchanged for the first two seasons, most likely to preserve its nostalgic value. Well, as interest begins to fade, Epic is ramping up the hype for Season 3. We also know that the storyline seems to be developing into something that eventually involves a huge meteor that flashed in Season 2. And this season teases map changes, with a cryptic teaser featuring a look at the Fortnite Island reflected in an astronaut’s visor.
The leather jacket-wearing astronaut might be a hint at a potential new hybrid skin — maybe even the Power Chord outfit from the old Season 3. Further teasing, another teaser showcases three OG skins that can be earned in the Battle Pass. The OG map hasn’t changed much, although this season may see some changes. In Fortnite’s original timeline, the game’s Season 4 featured a meteor collision that created a large crater, and the community at large speculated whether that would develop into a brush-off for the iconic Tilted Towers.
Some big map changes are clearly inevitable now that the meteor is making its way back. Small meteor fragments have been gradually altering the landscape since Season 2, but Season 3 seems to be preparing something much larger. As always, Fortnite revolves around its loot, and while much of the arsenal remains unchanged, several fan-favorite weapons are making a return.
The Hand Cannon, Crossbow, Guided Missile, Egg Launcher, Port-a-Fort, Remote Explosives, and Clingers are expected to be featured this season, bringing back some classic firepower for OG players. Fortnite OG Season 3 is now live, and with an evolving storyline and returning weapons, it looks like Epic Games is finally ready to bring some fresh excitement to the nostalgic mode.
