Excitement is building in the Fortnite community as a subtle social media post hints at the return of two OG vehicles when the island travels back in time next season. While Chapter 4 Season 4 is still in progress, anticipation for the upcoming season is soaring, thanks to the confirmation that the Chapter 1 Fortnite map is making a comeback. Players have longed to revisit their favorite Chapter 1 locations ever since the map was retired with the advent of Chapter 2. Now, after four years of eager anticipation, fans will have the chance to step foot on Athena Island once more.
Even before this revelation, speculation had been rife among fans regarding what else might make a triumphant return. Recent leaks have suggested that the current default skins could appear in the featured Battle Royale playlist image, typically reserved for Battle Pass skins. This has led to speculation that the current default skins might find a place in the Battle Pass while classic default skins make a grand reappearance. With these theories swirling, players are pondering whether the revival will extend beyond the map to encompass the original weapons and items from Fortnite’s early days.
It seems that Fortnite is poised to bring back more than just nostalgic locations. The official Fortnite Competitive Twitter account engaged the community by asking whether players preferred the ATK or the Shopping Cart, two of the first vehicles ever introduced in the game. These iconic vehicles frequently starred in viral Fortnite videos during Chapter 1, and their potential return has ignited considerable excitement among fans.
Should the rumors about the upcoming season prove true, players may find themselves navigating Fortnite with a touch of nostalgia but also without some quality-of-life improvements introduced in the years since Chapter 1. Rumors suggest that actions such as mantling, sprinting, and hurdling may no longer be available, and recently added features like grind rails and vines might vanish entirely. The return of these vehicles could potentially serve as a viable mode of transportation around the map, harkening back to an earlier era of Fortnite gameplay.
As Chapter 4 Season 4 approaches its conclusion, Fortnite enthusiasts can expect major hints and a wave of teasers to arrive. This is a customary practice leading up to the commencement of a new season. However, Epic Games appears to be pulling out all the stops this time, aiming to capture the attention not only of existing Fortnite players but also lapsed fans who hold nostalgia for the Chapter 1 experience. The return to Chapter 1 is shaping up to be a monumental moment in Fortnite history.
