Fortnite is taking us back to the past for a whirlwind of a new season.
By Phil Owen on
It's been barely two months since Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 4 began, and now it's time to move on. Or… move back? It's looking like when this season ends, time will actually move backward in Fortnite. That time machine that we pulled from Kado Thorne's basement during all these heists isn't just for show, it turns out.
Yes, it's looking like the next season of Fortnite is going to be unprecedented in all sorts of ways, and it could introduce some major new collaborations with Lego or Doctor Who as well as let us play on an updated version of the Chapter 1 island. Let's take a look at what we know so far.
The current season of Fortnite is scheduled to end at 11 PM PT / 2 AM ET on the morning of Friday, November 3. If this season changeover follows the now-standard pattern, the new season should go live after a few hours of downtime. Expect the servers to return by 7 or 8am ET on the morning of November 3.
No, next season isn't the beginning of Chapter 5. But it may not be Chapter 4, either. This new season has long been rumored to last only a month, and it's looking like some kind of bridge season--like a month-long live event that will move us from the Chapter 4 island to whatever Chapter 5 will have.
So far, there hasn't been any chapter designation in any of the promos for the new season, which have referred to it only as Fortnite OG.
Epic has been teasing Fortnite OG thus far in out-of-game ways only--meaning the company has been sending stuff to influencers and streamers who played Fortnite back in the day to emphasize the throwback aspect of this new season, such as by sending Ninja this massive Durr Burger.
There haven't been any official gameplay teasers or anything like that, but there have been a ton of leaks about this one--we've known about the 30-day season for months, for one. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The premise of Fortnite OG, according to these leaks, is that when the new season begins we'll be playing on the battle royale island mostly as it existed at the start of Chapter 1 Season 5. But it won't stay as it is for long. Over the course of the month, the island will morph through various other iterations from Chapter 1, going from Season 5 to Season X.
The island won't be exactly the same as it was then, though. The addition of Zero Build during Chapter 3 requires some changes, because Chapter 1 had many spots you couldn't get to without building. So they'll reportedly be adding ziplines and other travel infrastructure where needed.
It had also been reported for a while that certain other modern conveniences that were introduced in Chapter 3, like sliding, sprinting and mantling, would be

You might have heard of the "horseshoe theory" in political science, which holds that far-left and far-right groups are actually closer to one another in terms of values and objectives than the political centre, coming together like the prongs of a horseshoe. I would like to propose an analogous theory for horror games and cute games whereby past a certain point of cuteness, the videogame in question teeters over dramatically into dread and nausea.
