Fortnite OG is back, permanently, and it will gradually rotate through all 10 Seasons of Chapter 1, allowing players to experience how Fortnite Battle Royale was when it first launched back in 2017, but on an accelerated scale.
Players may quickly realize how brutal Fortnite of old was as they’re landing in one of the 12 named locations or scrambling for shield potions. Season 2 brought along some needed changes with more map locations and items, but when will these changes come in Fortnite OG? And what do we know about when future seasons will come into rotation?
Here’s when the current Fortnite OG season ends and when Chapter 1 Season 2 arrives, and what we know about the Fortnite OG schedule.
When does the current Fortnite OG season end and Chapter 1 Season 2 arrive?
Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 1 will end on Jan. 31, 2025 at 5 a.m. EST, as stated by the OG Pass in-game.
There hasn’t been an official announcement by Epic Games, but it has been stated by Shiina and HYPEX on X that Season 2 will start on the same day of Jan. 31.
How often will Fortnite OG seasons and maps change?
With this first season lasting eight weeks, the assumption — though not confirmed — is each new Chapter 1 season will also come into rotation every eight weeks. A leaked Fortnite OG schedule by El Packito on X seemingly also confirms this, with the final season, Season X, arriving on June 1, 2026. That’s some wait if true — but as with Fortnite’s mainline seasons, dates can easily shift, so take it with a pinch of salt until at least Season 2 is with us.
When to expect in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2
As for what we can expect during the next map change, Chapter 1 Season 2 brought along a lot of new changes that fans and players grew to love. Season 2 introduced vital items such as the small shield potion, boogie bomb, and chug jug, and added the famous Tilted Towers to the map. The Season 2 battle pass also had highly coveted skins like the Blue Squire, Royale Knight, and Black Knight.
