What to Expect in the Upcoming Fortnite Event
Based on various teasers, leaks, and a recent teaser trailer, we have gained insights into what Fortnite OG has in store. This upcoming update in Chapter 4, Season 5, is anticipated to be a month-long celebration, offering a nostalgic throwback to the original Fortnite map. Players can expect to revisit classic hotspots, including the iconic Tilted Towers, as part of this exciting event.
The map featured in this event harks back to the 2018 version of the game, and according to additional leaks, it will undergo constant rotation and changes over the course of the month. Moreover, several credible Fortnite leakers and data miners have affirmed the presence of a new battle pass for this season. It’s worth noting that, as mentioned earlier, this season is expected to be a one-month-long event, deviating from the typical three-month season structure.
