[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61158, member: 1"] Epic Games has revealed that [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fortnite']Fortnite’s[/URL] next major update will see the perennially popular battle royale return to its Chapter 1 roots, while retaining its popular sprinting and mantling gameplay mechanics. Earlier today, Epic posted an image of the classic Fortnite battle bus to X/Twitter, alongside the words “Sprint (or Mantle, your choice) back to Chapter 1….see you soon 11.2.2023," alongside the hashtag #FortniteOG. The post echoes a similar teaser from Epic vice president and co-founder Mark Rein, who yesterday revealed that the word/theme for the next season of Fortnite was set to be “rewind." Epic’s post seemingly confirmed rumors from recent weeks pointing towards a return to the Chapter 1 Fortnite map of old. Influencers have since revealed that they have been sent care packages from Epic that, as reported by [URL='https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-is-going-back-to-chapter-1-in-next-big-update-but-still-includes-sprinting-and-mantling/1100-6518724/']Gamespot[/URL], featured pins representing seasons from the first chapter of the battle royale. Also included in each pack was a vinyl that seemingly sported an etching of the Chapter 1 Season 5 map on the back. The X/Twitter post revealing Fortnite OG also served to reassure players that the mantling and sprinting mechanics introduced in Chapter 2 and 3 will remain as part of the game, despite rumors to the contrary that left many in the community concerned. Fortnite recently played host to the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/alan-wake-flashback-is-a-fortnite-experience-that-recreates-remedys-iconic-story']Alan Wake: Flashback experience[/URL], which sought to recreate the story of Remedy Entertainment’s cult 2010 game to prepare gamers unfamiliar with its mystery-heavy plot ahead of the release of [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/alan-wake-ii']Alan Wake 2[/URL] on Oct. 27. Last week Epic announced that it was laying off 830 employees in a “survival move” triggered by what CEO Tim Sweeney described as recent “financial woes." Today also saw the company [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fortnite-v-bucks-increasing-in-price']raise the price of Fortnite’s in-game currency ‘V-bucks’ in the United States[/URL], and other countries.
