Fortnite has changed a lot over the years, with countless additions transforming the game’s landscape until the original map became a distant memory for many players. However, for fans who fondly remember the game’s debut map, there’s some exciting news on the horizon.
Original Map Returns Permanently
According to HYPEX, Fortnite’s first-ever map is set to make a permanent comeback in December. This time, it’s not just a limited-time event; the original map will stay, bringing back the nostalgia of the game’s earliest days.
It’s also been reported that the map will include all the seasonal events from Chapter 1, with each month featuring a different season throughout the year. Players will experience the first chapter’s progression just as it originally unfolded.
Additionally, the loot available on the map will mirror the old, original types, offering a pure throwback without any new additions, allowing fans to relive Fortnite’s early days with no modifications to the map.
For those unfamiliar, Fortnite’s first chapter included 10 distinct seasons, each packed with events. With this new rollout, every season will return, hosted on the original map for a full month, immersing players in the experience as it was in the game’s early days.
Meanwhile, it appears that competitors like Apex Legends are also considering a similar approach, with reports suggesting that they, too, may revive their original map for fans.
While official confirmation is still pending, this news comes from some of the most trusted Fortnite leakers, increasing the likelihood that the original map’s return is indeed on the way.
