Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is finally here, offering players a new map, weapons, mechanics, and more to experience. However, the upcoming return of OG Fortnite will grab headlines when it arrives in just a few days. Instead of this being temporary, Epic Games has announced that it's permanent this time. It's an exciting time for all Fortnite fans, and this article provides a countdown to OG Fortnite.

According to Epic Games, OG Fortnite will return on Friday, Dec. 6. Although the development has not formally announced a time, you can already see the OG modes published in the game. The in-game OG Fortnite countdown indicates they will be live promptly at 9 a.m. ET on Dec. 6. We have provided a countdown above to reflect that timing.

As a result, it's safe to mark this date and time off on your calendar. Once it arrives, OG Fortnite begins with Chapter 1 Season 1, with the classic weapons, sights, sounds, and more. From there, the seasons will rotate monthly until Season X before resetting to Season 1.

With the OG Fortnite countdown covered, let's cover a few of the highlights regarding what you can expect. The Zero Build and Battle Royale game modes will feature classic weapon models, including the Burst Assault Rifle, Assault Rifle, Scar, Pump Shotgun, and more. Unlike the previous OG Season, these weapons will also sound like they did in Fortnite Chapter 1, giving players a genuine feel.

Remember the Double Pump, where you could rapidly swap between Shotguns to deal damage twice as fast? That's also coming back, as confirmed by Epic Games. Let's not forget the addition of an OG Fortnite Battle Pass, which offers a new twist on classic skins, such as Renegade Raider, Aerial Assault Trooper, and Skull Trooper.

It's an exciting time for OG Fortnite fans and those who never experienced its brilliance before it took over the gaming world.
