Fortnite’s much anticipated season Chapter 6 Season 1: Demon Hunters is finally here, and players are already stacking up on V-Bucks to purchase the latest Battle Pass, full of Ronin and Japanese warriors, including collab skins such as Baymax from Big Hero 6 and Godzilla.
Epic has also added new movement mechanics and gameplay items and has re-added trains to the newest island, which is full of different biomes. While the new Japanese-themed season promises high-octane action, there’s something else OG Fortnite players are waiting for, and it’s none other than the Fortnite OG game mode.
If you’re one of the new players who has just started out with Fortnite, here’s what the game mode is all about.
Fortnite OG mode will be released on December 6. This will be added with a Friday update, just days after the arrival of the new season in Chapter 6. We’ll provide more updates on the downtime right here once official info is out.
First things first, the OG Fortnite mode will kick off with Chapter 1 Season 1 and will bring back the OG Chapter 1 island that started the Battle Royale game mode. Iconic locations like Retail Row, Tilted Towers, Dusty Divot, and more are rumored to return and will be a full map instead of the smaller Reload map.
Furthermore, players can also expect the OG Fortnite graphics to return, which will bring back the more vivid look and skybox that earlier fans are familiar with.
When it comes to gameplay, the mode is rumored to accommodate both Builds and Zero Build players. But when it comes to building and movement, the OG mechanics are returning where Turbo Building will be turned off and players will move like they used to in previous Fortnite seasons.
According to rumors, the Fortnite OG mode will have a new season each month. Since it’s starting with Season 1 in December, players can expect the next Season 2 to arrive in February.
This means that during the 10-month run, Fortnite OG will take players through all 10 seasons in Chapter 1. Whether or not Chapter 2 island will return after the 10-month period is over is still unclear.
When it comes to the game mode having its own Battle Pass, Fortnite has announced in its recent Battle Pass announcements that a special OG pass will be released exclusively for this game mode. However, players will be able to progress along the pass by earning XP in any Fortnite game mode.
While you may think that the OG skins like Renegade Raider may be returning, sadly, they’re not. The OG pass will have a new set of skins that will be released, and according to leaks, there will be different versions of the OG skins from Chapter 1. Since the cost of the OG pass hasn’t been announced, it’ll be available to Crew subscribers for free.
Finally, the most-hyped announcement that got every OG player excited was that all the OG loot, including the classic weapon models, will return with Fortnite OG mode. But that’s not all — the game is also bringing broken meta like Double Pump back into the game.
Among these, other items such as the OG Burst Assault Rifle, Electric Traps, and more such features will be added once more to the game. While the OG season had newer versions of the OG loot, this mode promises the exact same nostalgia several OG Fortnite players had back in 2017.
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.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
