On March 25, 2025, Epic games released another OG season, season three of chapter one. The season was originally released on Feb. 22nd. Of 2017, so for many players, the season that they once enjoyed playing, has become a vague memory.
However Epic Games has decided to re-release all of the chapter one seasons on a cycle. The way that it works is that they release one season at a time, with each season being out for only a month or two. They then move onto the next season in chronological order after a couple of months.
This way the players can play each season for a little bit and then move onto playing the next season that epic games re-releases. This helps players to feel less fatigued and bored of one season, because the seasons switch every couple of months.
One nice thing about the OG seasons is that people can play on the old map that people enjoyed playing on in chapter one. The old map includes many of the fans favorite locations that were added in chapter one season three, these locations include many spots such as “Lucky Landing, Haunted Hills, and Junk Junction”
Another thing people enjoy about the new season is the items that they can use again that they used in chapter one. This season includes many of the fans’ old favorite weapons and items, like the “rocket launcher, guided missile, hand cannon, and the chug jug.”
These POI’s and Items being brought back brings lots of popularity back to Fortnite, as many of the seasoned fortnite players are thrilled that the OG season 3 is back.
One in particular, sophomore Jack Mayo described why he liked the season.
“I’ve been enjoying the OG season 3. It was one of my favorite seasons of fortnite that I ever played so it’s been super nice to be able to play again. I really like the old map and the new items. It’s been fun to play at the old spots such as Tilted Towers and Lucky Landing. I’ve also had fun using many of the old weapons such as the guided missile and hand cannon that I once enjoyed using when the season was first released.” Mayo said.
It is safe to say that the return of the OG season 3 has been enjoyed by many people around RCHS.
