What is Fortnite OG?
Fortnite OG has a goal of "recreating those early days" by bringing back the map, loot and features that caught the gaming world by storm after it launched in 2017, developers said.
Solos and Squads modes will be available at launch, along with the game's Zero Build mode that removes the need to harvest materials to build defensive structures, the developers said, adding that ranked Fornite OG is also "coming soon."
Some new features that have been added since the original Fortnite release will remain available at launch, including better building mechanics and the ability to sprint, slide, mantle, door bash and move while healing, according to the release.
