Fortnite OG brings the battle royale game back to its original map, and classic features like Tilted Towers and Chug Jugs show how much the experience has changed over the years.
This weekend, I experienced something that I hadn’t in quite some time: a queue to play Fortnite. The long-running battle royale hit players with a dose of nostalgia in its latest season — called Fortnite OG — which brings back the game’s original map for the next month. Players have shown up in droves; developer Epic claims that Saturday was the biggest in the game’s history, with more than 44 million players.
All of these weird moments were a chance for Epic to experiment with a new kind of storytelling in the game, and honestly, playing Fortnite OG has made me realize how much I miss the oddball live events, which were their own kind of appointment viewing. As a longtime player, the new season has also reminded me just how much more tame the game was back then.
