When it was first revealed that Fortnite would be going back to its roots for a reason and bringing back its Chapter One map, I was thrilled. As someone who started playing Epic Games’ enormous battle royale title this year, I’ve only ever experienced the game from Chapter Four onwards. I’d completely missed what many consider to be the golden era, seemingly with no way to ever truly know what all the fuss was about.
Last week, that changed with the launch of Fortnite OG. Hopping onto the Battle Bus right now is basically like entering a time machine back to 2018 - specifically, Chapter One: Season Five - with fan-favorite points of interest like Tilted Towers, Greasy Grove, and Risky Reels back on the map, not to mention all the classic weapons and items available to use. Throughout the month, the game will be updated further with more nods to the different seasons that comprised that legendary original chapter. It was supposed to be beautiful.
