The gaming community is abuzz with excitement as Epic Games releases its first teaser for the much-anticipated Fortnite OG season, a nostalgic throwback to the game's early days.

Fortnite OG Season: Where Battle Royale Meets Juice WRLD's Legacy
Delving into the teaser, it's clear that "Fortnite OG" is set to be a blast from the past, taking players back to the iconic Chapter 1 map. Not only does the trailer offer glimpses of beloved points of interest like Tilted Towers, Risky Reels, and Wailing Woods, but it also promises a return of classic weapons and items, such as the Pump Shotgun and Chug Splashes.
The choice of Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" as the trailer's soundtrack further cements the season's theme of nostalgia. The song, with its themes of memories and dreams, perfectly complements the season's aim to let players "relive the memories. And create new ones".
Wake up.

Leakers and gaming enthusiasts had speculated the return of the Chapter 1 map for weeks, and with the teaser's release, these rumors have been confirmed. Fans are especially thrilled about the reintroduction of the original loot pool and the prospect of experiencing Fortnite's chaotic history in a condensed timeframe.
And the rumors of Juice WRLD coming to Fortnite are not new either. In 2022, the manager of the late musician, Peter Jideonwo, attempted to bring the rapper to Fortnite. He shared this in a viral video on Twitter.
Jideonwo also mentioned that discussions about bringing the rapper to Fortnite had already been arranged. He stated more precisely in the video:
"We need Juice WRLD in Fortnite. We've done our best, and our work is in progress. We actually have a meeting, I believe, next Thursday? If I'm not mistaken, Tuesday or Thursday - with Epic. Epic is the developer of Fortnite, so if you want... that would be pretty cool because everyone in Fortnite loves Juice WRLD. Considering that 'Come and Go' was a big hit in Fortnite, I think it fits."
So, these discussions took place about 1.5 years ago, so enough time has passed to plan something as significant as a Juice WRLD concert, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
The season, officially named "Fortnite OG" and part of Chapter 4, is set to launch on November 3, 2023. As the gaming world counts down the hours, one thing is clear: Fortnite OG is set to be a season that resonates with both old fans and new, blending the past and present in an unforgettable gaming experience.
So, gear up, Fortnite enthusiasts! The past awaits, and it's looking brighter (and more action-packed) than ever. Don't miss out on this nostalgic journey back to where it all began.
