Exciting news is on the horizon for Fortnite fans as a new season approaches, bringing with it a flurry of updates and leaks. Players who delve into the game files often uncover upcoming content long before its official release. The latest discovery includes hints of an upcoming FNCS OG tournament!
Among the recent leaks surrounding Fortnite, there are whispers of the return of Fortnite OG. While this doesn’t confirm the mode’s comeback, the game’s API now includes mentions of various tournaments that Epic Games is working on. These tournaments range from the revival of Ranked Cups for Chapter 5 Season 2 to the intriguing addition of a Fortnite OG FNCS, known as FNCS OG Chaos.
Fortnite OG made an appearance last year, but without an FNCS event. It occurred during the downtime after the season concluded, featuring in-game Cups named after popular content creators. However, it deviated from the intense competition seen at the highest level of competitive Fortnite. So, what exactly does this new tournament entail?

Fortnite FNCS OG Chaos Leaks
Recent leaks within Fortnite’s files have hinted at an upcoming tournament called FNCS OG Chaos. While it’s common for such references to appear in files without materializing, it would be unusual for a completely fictional tournament to be used as a mere placeholder.
At first glance, it seems FNCS OG Chaos will mirror the format of an FNCS event for Fortnite OG. Details about the tournament stages and structure have already surfaced thanks to in-game references, hinting at a two-stage tournament followed by a grand final.
Although speculation surrounding the return of Fortnite OG has been circulating for some time, concrete news has been scarce. This latest file reference marks one of the first indications that Epic Games is actively working on reinstating OG in some capacity, possibly integrating it into Fortnite esports this time around!
The inclusion of “Chaos” in the tournament name adds an element of mystery. Clearly, FNCS OG Chaos is not part of the four FNCS Majors scheduled for this year. The 2024 FNCS calendar has been finalized, suggesting that Fortnite OG may return post-FNCS with its own smaller FNCS event in tow.
Last year’s Fortnite OG experience left players eager for more, especially in a competitive setting. The prospect of a fresh tournament with older names returning to test their skills amid a Chapter 1 meta shift is certainly intriguing. With the resurgence of Fortnite OG, we may witness a dynamic mix of veteran and current players vying for victory.
