Since its release, Fortnite’s OG mode has been a smashing success, transporting players back in time to the glory days of Epic’s battle royale with its faithful recreation of the Chapter 1 map and gameplay elements. Peak concurrent player counts and a revitalized player base is both indicators that the original allure of Fortnite is still very much alive and well.
Fortnite OG’s success stems from its ability to combine classic and new gameplay components. It offers a more straightforward battle royale experience while also including modern features like Zero Build mode and movement mechanics. Players love this mode because it stays true to the basics of the game, like including a double pump meta that was insanely popular when it came out.
Now that the initial OG Chapter 1 Season 1 comes to an end, Epic has brought another iconic Season 2, which brings back legendary POIs, remixed versions of fan-favorite skins and much more. Here are all the new additions made to Fortnite OG mode with Chapter 1 Season 2 update.
In Chapter 1 Season 2, points of interest from the first Season 2 are back, so be ready to make the HOA at Snobby Shores mad again! The following are some of the nostalgic POIs that are in store:

Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
