Is Duos coming to Fortnite OG?
Fortnite OG is back forever, so there’s no fear of missing out (FOMO) for players hoping to enjoy this endless trip down memory lane. However, Chapter 1 shockingly returned with only Solos and Squads. Players instantly noticed the lack of Duos and Trios, an unfortunate outcome for an otherwise record-breaking revival. Many hope to see Fortnite OG add Duos as an option, and here’s what we know about the situation.
Why is there no Duos game mode in Fortnite OG?
Despite initially includingDuos and Triosin the Fortnite OGblog post, Epic Games unexpectedly removed it. Instead, the developers explicitly referenced Solos, Squads, and the eventual addition of Ranked OG. Duos and Trios remained curiously absent from Fortnite’s social media posts. As a result, it’s unclear whether either game mode will come to the game.
This wouldn’t usually be a concern, but Epic Games' removal of this information from the blog post and lack of alluding to it is concerning. That could mean there are no plans to add Duos or Trios, or it’s not in the immediate future. However, Epic could purposely hold Duos and Trios back to create a second wave of interest in Fortnite OG.
Leaker Jorge_Most, who has a solid track record, has said Duos and Trios will arrive in Fortnite OG. He will confirm the release date when he receives this information.
