Fortnite OG Season 7 Launch Details

Fortnite OG made a strong return by offering retooled versions of classic seasons, each changing weekly. This new version was a massive hit, with player counts increasing significantly during the initial months. Now, it has become a permanent fixture in the game, continuing into 2025. Epic Games has confirmed that the next season of Fortnite OG will begin later this week.

Regular updates from the developers keep players informed about what's coming next. As of now, we know that Fortnite OG will cycle through seasons. With the new season of Fortnite battle royale already launched, the runway is clear for OG to take center stage.

Here’s everything you need to know about when Fortnite OG Season 7 launches. We’ll cover all officially revealed details from Epic Games, some information on what to expect, and a summary of how things went last time. As more news comes out, this page will be updated accordingly.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Release Date

Fortnite OG Season 7 will launch on December 11, 2025 at 3:30AM ET / 12:30AM PT / 8:30AM GMT.
This date is according to the in-game Battle Pass screen. Therefore, you can expect the update to launch a couple of hours after entering downtime.

Is Fortnite OG Offline?

Fortnite OG is currently offline, after being removed from Fortnite just before the launch of Chapter 7. However, we know that Fortnite OG will return on December 11, 2025.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Changes

Epic Games has now revealed what's arriving in Fortnite OG Season 7. Map updates include Polar Peak, Happy Hamlet, and Frosty Flights. The Boom Box, Suppressed Sniper Rifle, and Balloons join the loot pool, and there's a holiday-themed Battle Pass to work through.

I, for one, can't wait for the addition of the X-4 Stormwing, a fully flyable biplane that has room on the wings for your squadmates. Later in the season, we'll also get to wield the Infinity Blade, a powerful legendary weapon that must be pulled from a stone in order to activate.

Fortnite OG is now a dedicated mode moving forward, cycling through Chapter 1 seasons in a similar way to how things worked at the end of 2023, though slightly elongated. Chapter 1 Season 2 ended on March 25, 2025, Season 3 came to a close on June 8, 2025, and Season 4 concluded August 7, 2025. This recreates the pattern of the original run, adding loot pool changes and feature introductions.

The best place to keep up on specific updates closer to the launch of the new season of Fortnite OG is the Fortnite Status X / Twitter account. We’ll be sure to keep this page up to date as well.

What is Fortnite OG?

Fortnite OG launched in November 2023 and switched the game all the way back to the 2018 map. Specifically, it started in Season 5, with the return of Tilted Towers, a throwback weapon loot pool, and several OG skins to buy in the store. Each week, Epic Games moved the clock forward to the next season, rotating through Season 6, Season 7/8, and then Season 9/10.

The map went back to a more classic style, visually and in terms of level design. Iconic locations like Frosty Flights came back, as did old-school vehicles like the X-4 Stormwing. This lasted until December 2, 2023, when the game switched over to a new season. Fortnite OG returned on December 6, 2024, and is now a permanent mode, with its own seasons cycle.

Fortnite OG Map

Above, you can see the current Fortnite OG map. It's been meticulously recreated, with every tree, car, chest, and object right where you remember it. Ziplines and ascenders have been added in Zero Build to aid movement. As the seasons change, we'll likely see the map change with it. With Season 6, you'll be able to jump into the floating island.
