After weeks of in-game teases and more, Epic Games has officially confirmed that the next season of Fortnite will bring players back to Chapter 1. With Fortnite loading screens hiding secret dates that point to Chapter 1: Season 5 and props from that season landing on this current season’s map, players have remain convinced that the next season, Chapter 4: Season 5 will actually bring everyone back to an older chapter of Fortnite; now we know it’s happening. 

Today’s reveal comes by way of the official Fortnite Twitter account, which posted, “Sprint (or Mantle, your choice) back to Chapter 1…see you soon 11.3.2023 #FortniteOG” with an image of the Fortnite battle bus. 

As you can see, the above Tweet confirms what many have been speculating: Fortnite is going back to its Chapter 1 roots. And while not officially confirmed, it’s likely the Chapter 4: Season 5 map will have some Chapter 1: Season 5 integration on it based on teases over the past few weeks. 

Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 5 launches November 3.
