The Fortnite universe is gearing up for another historic moment. The much-hyped Fortnite OG Rocket Launch Live Event is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2025, and it’s already creating waves across the gaming community. Long-time players and newcomers alike are eagerly anticipating this nostalgic yet pivotal event.
What makes this Rocket launch different is its setting—Fortnite OG mode. Designed to bring back the spirit of Chapter 1, this version of the game reintroduces fan-favorite mechanics and landscapes, offering a more classic Battle Royale experience.
This marks the third Rocket launch in Fortnite’s evolving storyline but the first ever in OG mode, which is likely to come with surprises that might influence the game’s narrative in a new direction.

Epic Games recommends players log in early to avoid server queues, as participation numbers are expected to skyrocket. Past Rocket events have had massive implications on Fortnite’s map and gameplay—this one could be no different.
Gamers are speculating whether this launch could mark a transition into a new phase or alter the OG experience itself.
