Fans everywhere are anticipating the release of Fortnite OG, which is a few days away. Most users already know when the game mode will be available, but the exact time is tricky. Luckily, we know when this massive update will be coming out so players don't have to worry.
Hardcore players want to play the upcoming OG mode immediately when it comes out on December 6. Part of that is due to the nostalgia of this shooter, with millions of gamers playing this shooter for years. Others hope to get some of the OG mode’s cosmetics and weapons quickly before they become rare. No matter the case, there’s going to be a lot of fans staying up late just to play this mode.
Fortnite OG mode release time
The Fortnite OG in-game timer (via Skylight on X) confirms that this mode’s release time is 3PM CET/9AM EST/2PM GMT on December 6. Although we’re a few days away, fans still have to wait a bit more before they parachute back into this game’s older times. It’s a worthwhile trip to the past, with rewards from older Seasons becoming available.
Epic Games has been hyping up the return of this OG mode, with regular updates on the game’s X account. This will be a massive event that most fans won’t want to miss. Considering how shooters like Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends have followed in the nostalgia train, it’s clear that this return to older Fortnite is going to be huge.
Why play Fortnite OG?
It might be easy to dismiss the appeal of Fortnite OG, considering all of the improvements made in newer Seasons. However, going back to the game’s past will show players how much they’ve progressed since, showing a greater appreciation for what’s there. Some fans also miss the days when this game wasn’t filled with cameos but that’s an entirely different discussion.
Luckily, the return of this mode will mean seeing older cosmetics from year’s past come back. Fans hoping to get specific skins from older Battle Passes won’t find a better opportunity than this. Naturally, players will need to be quick about it since these Battle Passes are always limited.
