After the massive success of the previous season, Fortnite OG 2 is coming soon, according to certain leakers.

Last year, Fortnite OG created history. Therefore, naturally, players have been expecting and demanding the next season for a long time. Rumors have been circulated that the game will get OG 2 before the launch of Chapter 6, and finally, the rumors are going to be true, probably. 

It’s only been a few hours since Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 was released. Players haven’t yet gotten over the vibe of the new season, and already renowned Fortnite leaker Shiina has come up with the release date of OG 2. According to her, the new season will launch on November 2, 2024. 

The X post also disclosed that OG 2 will not only reintroduce Chapter 2 of the game, but players can also anticipate a collaboration with Snoop Dogg. Well, leaks are often not authentic, but the X user @ShiinaBR is among the most undisputed Fortnite leakers and has given many true updates previously. 

Therefore, this update is probably true, and OG 2 will likely come in November. Still, unless Epic Games releases an official confirmation, nothing is guaranteed. 

However, if this is true, the latest Fortnite season will end on November 2, to make way for OG 2. Anyway, fans are extremely excited about the second season, even without any confirmation. 

Fortnite Has Brought a Path-Breaking Change to Battle Pass

Epic Games has made a revolutionary change to the Battle Pass, but it has reduced its popularity to some extent.

The new season has brought loads of content to the game. From brand new weapons to locations, multiple other features are added to the game. However, even the Battle Pass is new. Like every season, Chapter 5 Season 4 has received a new Battle Pass, but that’s not the only change. 

Starting this season, Fortnite Battle Passes are losing their exclusivity. Until Chapter 5 Season 3, Battle Passes used to feature cosmetic items and outfits that no one else except for the Battle Pass owners could get. These items never came to the Item Shop. However, this rule received a total reverse.

From this season on, Battle Passes no longer contain exclusive items. 18 months after a Battle Pass expires, the cosmetics and outfits may come to the Item Shop for other players to purchase. However, this has created a mixed reaction among players, as some of them have refused to purchase Battle Passes from now on. On the contrary, a lot of players are happy because they can now get outfits that they have missed. 

This controversy is not going to stop soon. 18 months is a long time, and only after the first batch of Battle Pass items comes to the Item Shop will it reveal the actual reactions of players. 

For now, enjoy the latest season and check out a new crossover that players have been demanding since Absolute Doom was announced.
