Fortnite fans, get ready for a blast from the past! According to recent information shared by Fortnite creator TimTheTatman during CouRageJD’s Fortnite OG stream, Epic Games plans to replay all Fortnite Chapter 1 live events. This exciting news comes as Fortnite OG continues to break records, with leakers like ShiinaBR and HYPEX confirming the developments. Here is everything we know so far.
What Fortnite Chapter 1 Live Events Are Coming Back?
While exact dates haven’t been announced yet by Epic, we know the events will start rolling out with Season 4 in early 2025. You’ll have the chance to experience or relive these amazing moments from Fortnite’s history. Here’s what you can expect to see throughout the seasons:
Season 4-5 Events
Fortnite’s Meteor, the event that kicked off Fortnite’s live event legacy, might make a comeback. Back then, it left Dusty Depot with a massive crater and set the stage for how Fortnite tells its story. But here’s the twist: rumors are saying the meteor could land in a different spot this time, giving a new twist to this classic event.
Season 6-7 Events
Seasons 6 and 7 delivered some of the most unforgettable moments in Fortnite. It all started with the Butterfly Event, where Kevin the Cube exploded and transported players to a mysterious dimension before transforming Leaky Lake. Next was the Ice Storm event, where the Ice King broke free from his frozen prison and covered the entire map in snow.
This was followed by Marshmello’s Showtime concert that changed how games approached virtual performances. The season also featured the unique New Year 2019 celebration that triggered multiple times across different time zones, forcing players to dance when the clock struck midnight. Finally, the ground-shaking Earthquake events that cracked the map, setting the stage for the volcanic activity of Season 8.
Season 8-X Events
The last seasons of Chapter 1 really went all out with the live events. First up was the Volcanic Excavation, where players all worked together to dig up strange runes. It ended with a huge volcano eruption that completely wiped out Tilted Towers and Retail Row.
Season 9’s legendary final showdown between the Monster and Mecha remains one of the most spectacular events in Fortnite history. The event even featured special emotes allowing players to show support for their favorite titan, creating an interactive experience that went beyond just watching.
Community Reactions to Fortnite Live Events Replay
The announcement has sparked excitement across the Fortnite community, with players, both old and new, sharing their reactions. A veteran player shared on X that, even though some might disagree, they’re really looking forward to experiencing these events again. With the graphics getting an update and way more people able to enjoy the magic of Fortnite, it’s definitely something to be excited about.
It is also exciting for newer players who missed the original events. As one player put it, “I missed all the events prior to season 5 so I’m excited for it. I seen videos but excited to actually get to experience it.” This sentiment is shared by many who joined the game after Chapter 1 and have only seen these legendary events through YouTube videos and streams.
Why These Fortnite Live Events Matter
It is pretty clear how big these returning live events are when you see how well Fortnite OG is doing. Within just fifteen minutes of its Friday re-release, the regular build mode hit over a million players, and Zero Build mode had another 270,000. These crazy numbers really show how much players want that classic Fortnite vibe.
Bringing these events back also gives Epic Games the chance to add new twists to familiar moments. If this happens, we’re about to relive some of the most epic moments in Fortnite’s gaming history all over again. Just remember, while this info comes from reliable sources and creators who got official documents, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed anything yet. Always keep an eye out for updates and follow TechWiser for more. In the meantime, you can check all the weapons and locations that are back in Fortnite OG Chapter 1.
