Summary
Players can now check out which named locations and landmarks will be making a comeback, as theFortniteOG Chapter 1 Season 2 map has been revealed.Fortnitefans have wanted to return to the OG map ever since it was removed with the launch of Chapter 2. Over the past couple of years, Epic Games tried to find ways to let gamers scratch this itch. In early 2023, it allowed custom map creators to come up with their own version of Athena Island, also known as the Chapter 1 map. However, it wasn’t as good as many would’ve hoped because many weren’t exact replicas and the Battle Royale aspect of it didn’t work all that well in Creative mode.
A few months later, in November, Epic released the first edition ofFortniteOG, a shorter season of Battle Royale set on Athena Island; this only lasted for about four weeks before Chapter 5 replaced it as the main Battle Royale mode. Then, in June 2024,FortniteReload came out, giving players access to a revamped version of the island where they could kick off some of the nostalgia in a 40-player match, consisting of 10 squads and unlimited reboots until the late game.
Finally, in December 2024, Epic Games released a fully fledged game mode set on the original Chapter 1 map.FortniteOG has its own Battle Pass and seasons just like the main game mode. Chapter 1 Season 1 started on December 6, and it’ll come to an end on January 31. Season 2 will start on the same day, most likely a few hours after the end of the first season. Gamers have been anticipating this moment, as Chapter 1 Season 2 had some of themost iconic named locations inFortnite. Those wondering what the map will look like won’t have to wait any further, as Epic Games has shared it with the world at last.

While some of the locations can already be found on the Season 1 map, there are quite a few additions. Fans will be happy to know that thefamous Tilted Towers are once again returning toFortnite, so those ready to battle it out in the early game know exactly where to drop.
