OG Season 3 is coming to Fortnite on Tuesday, March 25, with all of the changes from the original Season 3 update.
Season 3 was Fortnite’s introduction to a living map, where the world around you would change as more updates rolled out. Season 3 was focused around a meteor that appeared in the sky, and players were skeptical of where it would land. First-time players can live the experience, and try to solve the mystery themselves in OG Season 3.
Here’s when Fortnite OG Season 3 is releasing, and what we know about Fortnite OG Season 3 ahead of its launch.
What time does Fortnite OG Season 3 release in your time zone?
Fortnite OG Season 3 releases on Tuesday, March 25. Epic Games has not confirmed an official release time, but the previous Fortnite OG seasons went live around 9 a.m. EST. Since it’s now daylight savings time in North America, the time will be pushed back an hour for its associated times while the rest of the world will remain the same.
Fortnite OG Season 3 will go live at the following times in your time zone:
- 7 a.m. PDT for the west coast of North America
- 10 a.m. EDT 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 Wednesday, March 26, for the east coast of Australia
What to expect in Fortnite OG Season 3?
Fortnite OG Season 3 is bracing for impact as Chapter 1 Season 3 is crash-landing soon. For a list of expected changes you’ll see in Season 3, check out the sections below.
Season 3 map changes
In Season 3, Lucky Landing was the only new named location added to the map, but, towards the end of the season, meteors began to rain from the sky and land on the map.
Season 3 item changes
In Season 3, many items were added, but many were also vaulted. Here’s a list of all of the new item additions in Season 3:
- Hand Cannon
- Crossbow
- Hunting Rifle
- Supply Llama
- Remote Explosive
- Heavy Shotgun
- Pump Shotgun
- Tactical Shotgun
- Egg Launcher
- Guided Missile
- Vending Machines
- Port-A-Fort
- Light Machine Gun
- Clingers
Here’s a list of all of the vaulted items:
- Cupid’s Crossbow
- Smoke Grenade
OG Pass skins
Although the Season 3 OG Pass outfits haven’t been announced yet, you can see some of the skins in the OG Season 3 announcement trailer. At the end of the video, we can see the following Season 3 skins walking in a line with revamped looks:
- Brite Gunner
- Raven
- Leviathan
- Rex
- Tricera Ops
- Dark Vanguard
The outfit with the white space helmet and leather jacket appears to be a new skin, as it doesn’t resemble any of the outfits released in Season 3, so new outfits may be joining the OG line up from here on out.
There is little information about the original Season 3 battle pass skins making a return, but a rocket does get launched at Moonwalker — meaning there’s a chance that the battle pass skins will come back in some form.
