Specifically, it started in Season 5, with the return of Tilted Towers, a throwback weapon loot pool, and several OG skins to buy in the store. Each week, Epic Games moved the clock forward to the next season, rotating through Season 6, Season 7/8, and then Season 9/10. The map went back to a more classic style, visually and in terms of level design. Iconic locations like Frosty Flights came back, as did old-school vehicles like the X-4 Stormwing. This lasted until December 2, 2023, when the game switched over to a new season. Fortnite OG returned on December 6, 2024 and is now a permanent mode, with its own seasons cycle.

Vanessa Kirby says playing Sue Storm in 'Fantastic Four' prepared her for motherhood before first baby
Vanessa Kirby has shared how playing Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four: The First Steps prepared her for motherhood as she expects her first baby. Speaking with People, Kirby reflected on her character, saying, 'Sue was never sat down. She was never huffing and puffing about it.' She noted that the character is expecting a baby in the new Marvel Studios film while facing the threat of Galactus. 'It didn't define who she was,' Kirby said. 'She was absolutely a mother, and of course, in the comics, that's so definitively her. But she's also been a team member that defends, that goes up against great threats.' Kirby added, 'I literally had the lived experience of somebody who was doing this incredibly sacred thing and fulfilling what she needed to do at the same time as a woman and a team member, and that changed me.' Set in retro-futuristic 1960s, the film features Kirby alongside Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. The team faces the Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner, and the planet-eating Galactus. Kirby announced her pregnancy in May. She is currently in a relationship with retired lacrosse player Paul Rabil. The Fantastic Four: The First Steps is scheduled for release on July 24.
