Last year was a big one forFortnite, as the game expanded to even greater horizons. Between the introduction of Chapter 6, the return of Fortnite OG as a permanent mode, and even the addition of life sim LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, Epic Games has broughtFortniteto new heights.
One of the most popular changes to come toFortnitelast year was Fortnite OG staking its claim as a permanent mode within the game. Formerly a limited-time event, the mode proved to be so popular that Fortnite OG will now stand alongside the base battle royale with its very own Ranked mode. Another popular mode brought to life in 2024 was Reload, and between these two options,Fortnitecould be leaning heavily into nostalgia in the coming year, if a recent leak is to be believed.
Fortnite Leaks Point to Even More Throwback Content in 2025
In aFortnitesurvey spotted by X user 0xPaarth,Fortnite’s Reload modecould be getting a diverse roster of past maps and biomes added. Of course, such claims need to be taken with a grain of salt until they are officially confirmed by Epic Games, but it’s definitely an intriguing rumor. If these claims turn out to be true, then the popularity of Fortnite OG combined with the potential return of old maps in Reload could mark the start of an incredibly fun year for fans of some ofFortnite’s older features.
Claimed Maps and Biomes That Could Come to Fortnite Reload
These potential additions to Reload have yet to be made official, but if true, they will be incredibly exciting. Fortnite OG has been one of the best ways toenjoy oldFortnitecontent, but Reload could be poised to bring even more nostalgic moments to life through these various maps.
Although many of the updates that come toFortniteare meant to improve the game, there are long-gone features that a good portion of players miss. For example, there was a recent discussion among fans on Reddit about the desire tobring the “In-Game Shop and Locker” button backto the UI. The post in question currently has around 3.8k upvotes at this time, so it’s a strong example of old features that have been missed by certain long-time players.
Reload splits up 40 players into 10 squads. As long as one teammate is alive on the island, players can respawn after elimination.
Fortnite Has High Expectations to Meet in the New Year
The world may only be a handful of days into 2025, butFortnitealready has a lot of expectations to live up to. Thanks to the onslaught of great contentFortnitebrought players last year, there’s no tellingwhat is in store for 2025. One of the more exciting confirmed additions toFortniteis the impending arrival of Godzilla. Although currently part of the battle pass, the iconic movie monster has yet to be unlockable. As its launch day draws closer, the Godzilla skin sets the tone for a year hopefully filled with even more high-profile crossovers.
Godzilla will be available inFortniteon January 17. As part of the battle pass, players can expect special Godzilla-related quests that will need to be completed to unlock the skin.
It has yet to be revealed if Reload will feature some ofFortnite’s past maps, but it’s not impossible. With Epic Games clearly leaning into a balance of new and old withFortniteas of late, it wouldn’t be too out of character to bring back past maps and biomes. Of course, only time will tell, but ifFortnitewants to compete with the previous year, then 2025 may be filled with unexpected surprises.
