Fortnite is bringing back another slice of its past. Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite OG will roll into Chapter 1 Season 7 next, reviving one of the game’s most recognisable winter-era updates. Snow-covered landscapes, vaulted items, and early-era cosmetics are set to return as part of the limited-time mode.
The OG rotation has become a steady feature over the past year, aimed at revisiting older seasons without disrupting the current chapter’s progression. Season 7, first released in 2018, remains one of the most distinct periods in Fortnite’s history.
Fortnite OG Season 7 release date
Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 7 is scheduled to go live on December 11, 2025. The release lines up with the broader winter window and will run alongside content from Chapter 7 Season 1 as per Insider Gaming.
Epic is also keeping the original Season 7 tagline, “You Better Watch Out,” reinforcing the holiday theme that shaped the season’s identity.
