To the delight of many longtime Fortnite fans, the mega popular battle royale has revived the OG Map from Chapter 1, bringing back fan favorite POIs that have been missing for years. Fortnite's return to its glory days has resulted in a surge of players rushing back to the BR, so it seems this experiment has been a huge success for Epic Games.
Fortnite has enjoyed a massive player count spike since launching the OG map. Millions of lapsed players are back, and one has to imagine Epic Games will be pulling out all the stops to ensure that many of these fans decide to stick around. Part of this strategy will be issuing updates to the Fortnite OG map, incorporating more popular items, locations, and features that were featured in Chapter 1 years ago. Now some of those Fortnite OG map update plans have leaked online.

Fortnite OG Season is here at last, and it seems like gamers will have to cop any cosmetic items that catch their eye before they're gone for good.

Then on November 16, Fortnite fans can look forward to the return of Slown, Frosty Flights, and Pirate Camps, Flint-Knock, Minigun, Quad Launcher, Itemized Glider Redeploy, Buried Treasure, Poison Trap, Planes, and Cannons. And finally, November 23 will apparently feature the Meteor, Heavy Sniper, Proximity Launcher, Air Strike, Junk Rift, Storm Flip, Jetpack, and The Baller.
Fortnite Chapter 1 OG Map Update Leaks
Many Fortnite fans will be happy to see these POIs and vaulted items return to the battle royale. The Floating Cube Island was certainly a memorable POI back in the day, and the Port-a-Fortress was a game-changer for those that didn't care to engage with the game's building mechanics. The return of these fan favorite Fortnite elements could go a long way in ensuring that the BR retains the huge influx of returning players it's currently experiencing.
Fortnite has had to introduce a login queue due to the sheer number of people that have returned to the BR, but hopefully anyone that wants to play this weekend will be able to hop in soon. And if they decide to stick around, it seems that they will have plenty to look forward to in the month ahead.
