Fortnite developer Epic Games has released update 27.00 to coincide with the launch of the OG season. The new Fortnite season takes things back to the old-school, ushering in the return of the classic map, not to mention bringing back early weapons and items. Needless to say, the launch of the new season is accompanied by the release of a big new update, which according to Epic Games, is much larger than usual. “Where we droppin’?” reads an Epic tweet. “v27.00 downtime begins at 3 AM EST and matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand. Please note that the v27.00 update file size will be larger than usual on some platforms.”
Returning locations include POIs like Junk Junction, Haunted Hills, Pleasant Park, Snobby Shores, Greasy Grove, Lazy Links, Frosty Flights, Flush Factory and Salty Springs.
Needless to say, Epic Games will also bring back the iconic location of Tilted Towers, which was always a popular landing spot for fans.
Old-school weapons like the pump shotgun, OG assault rifle, LMG, turrets, traps and bolt-action sniper rifle will also appear.
