12 months ago By AI Smith

“Is it going to be a month already?” That’s probably what millions of Fortnite players are asking themselves right now as they realize that Season 4 Chapter OG is coming to an end. Time-traveling back into the original days of the game has brought back fond memories for players and many are already finding it hard to say goodbye. On 2^nd December, Fortnite’s Season 4 Chapter OG will come to a close. The following few days before the end date will be the last time players will get to enjoy walking down memory lane. Ever since Fortnite announced Season OG, players were thrilled with the back-in-time concept. This was further proven when the ongoing season saw a huge spike in player participation and experienced a resounding success.

Fortnite has always been credited with being one of the most innovative video games. Through the years, the game has shown players that not only can it provide amazing entertainment but also keep it fresh with its creative ideas. The current OG season has taken the feeling of nostalgia that players have for the past seasons and used that to do something new and fun. The battle royale game has surely struck a chord with millions of fans who are now sad to see one of their favorite seasons come to an end. Even though it was a short 30 days run, there is no doubt that Chapter 4 Season OG of Fortnite has broken some records. So, while we mentally and emotionally prepare ourselves of the soon to come farewell, let’s take a look at the impact that season has had on the game’s overall performance and what it’s end could bring.

Say Goodbye To Fortnite Season 4 Chapter OG

Launched on 3^rd November, Season OG took players to its 2017 version where it brought back many of Fortnite’s original weapons and maps. Each week since the release, Epic Games introduced new changes to the game as it rapidly progressed through multiple different maps and locations. This helped the game move at a pace that allowed players to enjoy the OG days but also not get bored by the older content. With the end date soon approaching, many players are still trying to grasp that one of their most beloved seasons is already coming to an end.

So far, the game has broken and set new records. Let’s take a closer look at why Season OG is among the top best Fortnite concepts so far. Do note that these achievements by the game were made during the current season, which in our opinion is quite impressive.

More than 100 million players were recorded logging into the day in one day.
During the month, Fortnite also surpassed its concurrent player count as over 5 million players were simultaneous playing the game.
The game also set a new daily player count record when it peaked at around 50 million players.

These amazing records set by Fortnite are truly something to be proud of. However, even with such glowing achievements, it is somehow over-shadowed by the impeding end date of December 2^nd. Just like every season event in the game, this nostalgia packed season is coming to an end, and fans are not ready to let it go. Given that this was one of Fortnite’s biggest seasons, players are already wondering what can possibly top it. Right now, with no news from Epic Games, it seems that once the season is over things will just go back to the way it was before.

Concerns Among Fortnite Players:

Decline in New Player Numbers

While they don’t want to see the season come to an end, Fortnite players are also realistic about their expectations. Many have come to terms with the fact that Season OG will be over on 2^nd December. However, that is not what some Fortnite fans are concerned about. What they are concern about is what will come after the season ends. You see that one reason why Season OG is considered to be such a splendid success was because of all the new players that joined the game. Many of these players arrived during the hype and now that season will reach its end point, veteran Fortnite players and enthusiasts are worried that these new users will also leave with it.

This is a major cause for concern because if Fortnite doesn’t deliver in the coming few days post the end of the event, they are sure to lose many of the players that they gained during November. As we know that keeping players engaged is one thing that Fortnite does very well, however the time post December 2^nd is where they will have to prove it even more. The new players will be hungry for more epic adventures and experiences and it’s up to Fortnite to deliver on it.

End Could Bring Out Past Controversies

While Fortnite has been met with great reception over the years, it has also courted a few controversies of its own. The exponential recognition that the game received during Season OG could now backfire when it ends as it could cause past controversies to resurface. Among these is one where the battle royale game made certain cosmetics to have age-restricted access only. This did not go well with players given that they were already paying to access the entire game. As more players are introduced, this problem is just one of the few that might stir things up (in the wrong way) for Fortnite.

It seems like December 2023 is truly a crucial time for the beloved game. What will Fortnite do next and will whatever that’s next be as good? These are surly some questions that must be on every player’s mind. However, we do want to end the article by saying that Fortnite has been in the game for years now and can be expected to deliver in the best ways possible. They have already proven their knack for creative thinking in the past and we can safely assume that the future will be no different. So, don’t worry too much and trust in the team in Epic Games to bring out the best that Fortnite has to offer.
