Good news for Fortnite fans: The popular game is getting some new additions with the June 22nd Summer Update. The update includes a new game mode called Reload, which will take players back to Tilted Towers, the OG Fortnite map.
Epic Games announced the new game mode in a post by X on Friday, along with a seven-second teaser video. Later, the company published a YouTube link which takes viewers to the premiere of Fortnite Reload’s launch trailer, which goes live on June 22 at midnight ET.
In addition to Tilted Towers, Epic Games is bringing back some other classic Fortnite favorites, including Pleasant Park, Lil’ Loot Lake, and Retail Row. Other points of interest include Lazy Laps, which appears to replace the race track point of interest from the OG Chapter 1 map, and Sandy Sheets, which will take players to the beach.
Players will explore the OG map while playing in Fortnite’s new game mode called Reload. Epic Games has not officially explained what the game mode will include. However, said the leakers it is very similar to the regular Battle Royale mode, except that players can respawn while one of their teammates is still alive.
The players have already started to compare the new game mode for Call of Duty: Warzone Resurgence a game mode that has a similar premise. In Resurgence, 40 players throw in a card and take it out until only one team is left. Your team members can respawn provided at least one team member is still alive.
The Fortnite teaser revealed the return of Tilted Towers, along with other Fortnite points of interest.
What’s coming up and when?
The company posted on X on June 21 that the all-new mode is coming “tomorrow,” meaning June 22.
It’s been about half a year since players last saw Tilted Towers. Epic Games brought the map back during Chapter 4: Season OG, which was officially Season 27, Chapter OG. It ran from November 3, 2023 to December 2, 2023. At the time, Epic Games themed the story around traveling back in time to Chapter 1 and experiencing moments from Chapter 1: Season 5 to Season X.
Fortnite fans, get ready to cut some gaming time.
The OG Fortnite map and the new reload mode won’t replace anything. Players can engage with the new additions as they wish without losing any of the existing game modes.
For now, people can only speculate what the loot will contain. However, it is not possible to assume that it will contain any OG Fortnite swag similar to Chapter 4: Season OG.
