Chapter 4, Season OG will bring back some of the original map locations players have missed since the island was revamped in Chapter 2. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season, including when it starts, what to expect, and how to prepare.

The new season will begin shortly after, with a live event called “The End” that will transition the game into Chapter 4. The event will start at 6 PM ET and last about an hour. Players are advised to log in at least an hour before the event to secure their spot and witness the epic finale of Chapter 3.
Original Map Locations
One of the most exciting features of Chapter 4, Season OG, is the return of some of the classic map locations from the first chapter of Fortnite. According to leaks and rumors, some of the locations that will be making a comeback are:
- Tilted Towers: The iconic skyscraper-filled city that was a hot spot for action and loot.
