With the release of Fortnite Chapter 4: Season OG, many Hamberites have been flocking back to their screens to experience the nostalgia that comes along with their favourite childhood game. The new update has caused a huge spike in players, as Fortnite players old and new have been logging in and readying up. 

Chapter 4: Season OG features aspects of the firstmost seasons of the game, which has inspired OG fortnite players to pick it up once again. However, Ben Singh (8) said, “it doesn’t really feel OG, it still feels kind of different”.

“OG Fortnite was the best season yet, it was way better than all the others,” Jordan Tran (9) said. “Maybe they could have added more of the old skins though, that would have made it even better.”

Hamber’s thoughts on the new season seemed overwhelmingly positive, especially in the senior grade, where Fortnite may have been a more prominent part of students’ childhood. 

“It was really cool how it brought back a lot of old memories, and it kind of brought out my inner child, which was seconded, I think, by many other seniors,” Cohen Milisavljevic (12) explained.  

Markus Olsen-Prissinoti (12) said that the OG season was “beautiful, and gave everyone what they wanted and needed,” and also said that Epic Games, the creators and developers of Fortnite, “really messed up by getting rid of [Chapter 4] after only a month.”

Aside from the nostalgia and fanbase it brought back, OG Fortnite also displayed a different, older style of play. Kainoa Richardson (12) spoke on this, sharing that “it was a great change of pace for the game. It made it a lot simpler, and just easier and more fun to play.”
