Fortnite New Season: OG Chapter 1 — Start and Endtime, Features and New Staff

It’s been a vibrant and dynamic season — Fortnite Remix Chapter 2! We enjoyed legendary rap and hip-hop, explored reimagined locations, and had a blast with the Juice WRLD tribute.

With this wow factor, we’re moving forward to OG Fortnite — the return of the entire Chapter 1! Let’s briefly look back at the season now stepping aside and diving into the true adventure of Epic Games’ incredible universe.

When does the current season of Fortnite end?

The Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix concludes on Saturday, November 30, at 10 PM ET. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes earlier, at 9:30 PM ET, as per usual. While players can remain logged into Fortnite during this time, they won't be able to access Battle Royale or other public lobby games. So, be sure to wrap up everything you want to accomplish in Chapter 2 Remix before matchmaking shuts down.

The Fortnite Remix Finale live event is scheduled for the same day at 2 PM ET. Epic Games has announced plans to replay the concert once it concludes. This gives players roughly 7.5 hours between the Remix Finale event and the end of Chapter 2 Remix, during which they’ll have two chances to catch the live event.

When is the new Fortnite season?

The new Chapter is expected to go live on Sunday morning, barring any unexpected delays. Players can update their games as soon as the servers are back online and jump straight into exploring the new map. While there's no official confirmation yet on when Chapter 5 will end, it’s safe to say you’ll be cruising around the fresh map by Sunday morning. I’ll update this post if more precise timing becomes available or if there’s any server downtime.

If you’re interested when is the Fortnite New Season? — Chapter 6, launching on December 1, introduces a thrilling Japan-themed map, with Godzilla wreaking havoc as the central antagonist. The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters trailer showcases several smaller, Japan-inspired bosses and new weapons, including samurai swords. Adding to the excitement, Big Hero 6's Baymax has also been confirmed to join the action.

Another exciting update is the return of OG Fortnite, featuring the game’s original map, allowing players to battle in classic locations with the original loot. Epic Games has also announced that players will have the chance to experience older seasons as part of this mode. This nostalgic (and permanent) addition will go live on December 6th.

What to expect from the next Fortnite season: new Fortnite Battle Pass and more?

In reality, we should expect not the return of the old-school game and Chapter 1 in its entirety, but rather the presence of its elements on the island in new season of Fortnite, alongside features from other chapters, such as the futurism of Chapter 4. Additionally, elements of Eastern culture are anticipated, including the iconic Japanese demon mask, Oni.

Earlier this month, Epic Games announced adjustments to the next Fortnite Battle Pass pricing model, marking the first-ever increase in the standard pass price. Starting December 1, the price will rise from 950 V-Bucks to 1,000 V-Bucks, a modest increase of 50 V-Bucks.

The real-world cost of V-Bucks remains the same (1,000 V-Bucks are currently $8.99 via the Epic Games Store), and players can still earn V-Bucks by reaching specific Battle Pass levels. Additionally, the cost of the 25 Battle Pass Reward Bundle will decrease slightly, from 1,850 to 1,800 V-Bucks.

These updates come right before the highly anticipated Fortnite new season release date, with Fortnite OG: Chapter 1 – Season 1 set to launch on December 6

Fortnite Chapter 1 aka Chapter 6 map changes: what’s new on the Island

The supermarket from the first chapter will definitely return to the island, along with a few other old locations. However, don’t expect an exact replica — they will look different, but still closely resemble locations from various chapters.

In the latest trailer for Fortnite Chapter 6, we get a glimpse of Eastern-inspired temples being introduced to the island, along with mythological creatures that will be integrated into the game. These creatures will be developed to the point where they become full-fledged locations in the world, adding depth and immersion to the Asian-themed setting.

For the first time, a real-time dynamic system will be implemented, meaning the island will change between day and night. When the sun is shining, locations will have one appearance, with certain wildlife roaming around. As the sun sets, new creatures will appear, and the colors of the island will shift accordingly!

In Chapter 6 of Fortnite, new creatures called "Sprites" will make their debut. These creatures will add an additional layer of dynamic gameplay, with their unique characteristics and interactions on the island. The specifics about how they will impact the game or their role in combat and exploration remain to be fully detailed, but they promise to enrich the evolving ecosystem within the game. Players can expect these new creatures to contribute to the vibrant, ever-changing world of Fortnite.

New Fortnite season weapon changes: Chapter 6 guns rotation

In Fortnite Chapter 6, players can expect an exciting mix of new weapons and items inspired by the game's Japanese-themed setting, alongside some returning favorites. Notable new additions include:

• Masamune Sword: A powerful melee weapon, perfect for close combat. This sword is designed to be deadly in tight fights.

• Kinetic Blade: A returning weapon from Chapter 4, this katana allows players to perform devastating sliding slashes. It has three charges, which recharge after use, adding a tactical edge for mobility and offense.

• New Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Submachine Gun: These will add more variety to your arsenal, offering new ways to engage enemies at different ranges.

Additionally, Weapon Attachments return, allowing players to modify weapons by adjusting recoil, magazine capacity, or sight types, giving a more personalized experience.

Conclusion

Fortnite continues to amaze its players with new dynamics that open up fresh gameplay horizons... but seriously, with the scale of Godzilla and the return of the ENTIRE first chapter, as claimed by developers on social media, it’s clear that the new chapter and season are packed with a serious "wow" factor. Should you return for a hit of nostalgic reflection? You might risk disappointment. Or, should you dive into the vibrant vibe of this new Asian-themed world, where armed players are sporting the latest kicks? I guess you know the answer!
