OG Fortnite is coming back and this time it is a permanent game mode, a highly anticipated update but leaks seemed to have divided the community given the mixed reactions from players who are unable to look at the upsides without considering the possible downsides.
Fortnite has come far from its original release and while the fundamentals have remained intact, the game has undergone massive improvements in terms of performance, optimization, mechanics, and most notably the abundance of content that wasn’t there in its early days. To tend to the nostalgic feelings, the devs brought back the OG game mode for a limited time and players flocked to the same which rendered the other game modes unplayable thanks to the lack of players.
In a recent leak, it has been pointed out that the developers are bringing back OG Fortnite and this time it will be permanent. As good of news as it may sound for some of the older players who are missing the game, it should be pointed out it would divide the player base and many fear that most players would stick to the OG version which would result in fewer players in the BR game mode and the game will assign bots to lobbies to make up for it.
While it is safe to take these leaks with a pinch of salt, presumptive thinking will not lead anywhere unless the developers drop the update and we see a first-hand account of what becomes of the game.
