Fortnite OG Season 3 Officially Launches March 25

The Fortnite team has officially confirmed that OG Season 3 will launch on March 25, 2025. After the arrival of the latest Battle Royale season, players have been eagerly awaiting news about upcoming updates to OG and Reload. While it may take some time for other modes to receive significant changes, fans can soon relive one of Fortnite’s most iconic eras when OG Season 3 goes live.

With many players having already experienced the return of OG Season 2, excitement is now building for what’s next. Chapter 1 Season 3—originally released in 2018—was themed around space exploration and is widely considered a turning point in Fortnite’s history. Lasting 68 days, it introduced several long-standing features like Contrails, Back Blings, and Loading Screens. With these elements likely returning, the Fortnite team has the perfect opportunity to add fresh twists and make OG Season 3 truly memorable.

In a recent social media post, Epic Games announced that the new season will take players back to the Chapter 1 Season 3 map, a fan favorite. However, this nostalgic experience will be enhanced with modern gameplay mechanics, including updated movement options like wall-kicking and roll landings, as well as various visual upgrades the game has received over the years.

🗓️ March 25, 2025

While some fans are hoping for a more authentic recreation of the original Chapter 1 Season 3 experience, others are enjoying the blend of classic content with modern improvements. There’s an ongoing debate in the community, with some players requesting a return to the original mechanics to better distinguish OG from current Fortnite. Still, many seem to appreciate the quality-of-life enhancements that have been carried over.

Another exciting aspect of OG Season 3 is the teased return of the Chapter 1 Season 3 Battle Pass—this time with a twist. The teaser image features a helmeted character in a revamped astronaut-style outfit, hinting at the return of fan-favorite skins like Mission Specialist, Moonwalker, and Dark Voyager in new forms. Although the old map has also been teased, a mysterious flare on the astronaut’s visor appears to be hiding a key detail. With less than a week to go, fans can expect more teasers and reveals from Epic in the coming days.
