It’s about that time . . . again. Tilted Towers makes its triumphant return in Fortnite OG Season 2. Get ready to dive into the most famous and beloved Fortnite named location as though it’s the first time all over again.
Epic Games is taking players through all the game’s original seasons, replete with the old map and the many ways it changed over the months and years. Season 1 has been a big hit and Season 2 promises to be even better. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the upcoming season including when Season 1 ends, server downtime and when you’ll be able to check out the new version of one of Fortnite’s most excellent maps.
What’s New In Season 2?
Alongside the advent of Tilted Towers, Season 2 of the original game introduced small shield potions. Tilted wasn’t the only new named location, either, and the Season 2 map will also introduce:
- Haunted Hills
- Junk Junction
- Shifty Shafts
- Snobby Shores
New items added in Season 2’s original release included:
- Boogie Bomb
- Chug Jug
- Cozy Campfire
- Cupid’s Crossbow
- Damage Trap (uncommon)
- Impulse Grenade
- Minigun
- Small Shield Potion
- Suppressed Pistol
Vaulted items included:
- Ceiling Zapper (rare)
- Damage Trap (rare)
- Directional Jump Pad (rare)
- Grenade Launcher
- Wall Dynamo (rare)
One big change is the vaulting of Godzilla, who will no longer be available as a foe on the OG map.
When Does Season 1 End And Season 2 Begin?
Fortnite OG Season 1 will wrap up on Thursday, January 30th though it’s not clear the exact time servers will go down. You only have hours at this point to wrap up the Season 1 Battle Pass and finish any other challenges you wanted to complete.
We also don’t have an exact start-time for Season 2, but we do know the timing for Season 1’s launch and it’s likely that Epic will stick to the same format. If so, here is when Season 2 will go live on Friday, January 31st:
- 6 a.m. PST for the west coast of North America
- 9 a.m. EST for the east coast of North America
- 2 p.m. GMT for the U.K.
- 3 p.m. CET for west mainland Europe
- 11 p.m. JST for Japan
- 1 a.m. AEDT on Sat. Feb. 1 for the east coast of Australia
Fortnite OG Season 2 Trailer And Battle Pass Skins
Here’s the Fortnite OG Season 2 trailer. You can spot a bunch of the new skins in the footage:
As you can see, a lot of familiar skins are getting a remix overhaul. Expect new looks for classic skins like Cuddle Team Leader, Black Knight and Brite Bomber.
If any new information about Fortnite OG Season 2 releases before tomorrow, I’ll update this post. I keep hoping that Epic Games will bring back the old-school challenges that made early seasons of this game so much fun. Finding secret loading screens, hidden treasures and all the other creative challenges the game used to do was a lot of fun but it’s been years now since anything like this was a major component of the popular Battle Royale. Still, it’ll be fun to dive back into Tilted, get into gunfights in Haunted Hills and Shifty Shafts and discover whatever else the game has up its sleeve.
