Epic Games has just posted the trailer for Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2, and it is a throwback to the good old days. It even added Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back) as the accompanying soundtrack for the video. Suffice it to say, the developers are going all out to give new players a taste of the OG timeline.

For those new to the game, Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 will go live on January 31, 2025, likely at 9 am Eastern Time (this is the usual time Epic Games tends to release new content).

In the trailer, there are many Easter eggs hidden in plain sight. They pertain to Outfits, weapons that will be part of the loot pool, and a few throwback references to Chapter 1 Season 2.

With that in mind, here is a breakdown of the Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 trailer and everything you can expect to see in-game soon.

Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 trailer reveals a lot of content lined up

Weapons/items coming to Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2

As seen in the trailer, the Boogie Bomb, Minigun, and Ocean's Bottomless Chug Jug are all returning. It can be argued that the Boogie Bomb will be a bane for many players, but it is accurate for the timeline. One will have to learn to counter it or end up with a fatal dancing fever.

The Minigun and Chug Jug will be saving graces in many scenarios. One will lay waste to anything within mid-range, while the other can heal players and get them back into the fray.

Battle Pass Outfits coming to Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2

Moving on from these three weapons, there are also three Outfits. The first is a remix of Sparkle Specialist. This iteration of the character has been glammed up a little more than her predecessor.

There's also a new version of Cuddle Team Leader. This iteration of the character is much more kitted out than the original.

Lastly, a variant of Black Knight can be seen, with this version of the character having fiery red eyes. At least two of these characters will have a dedicated Back Bling each, as seen in the trailer.

That being said, we know that these are Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 Battle Pass Outfits, as their original versions were part of the OG timeline. This is why it makes sense to have these iterations added now. Besides, throughout the trailer, the characters have been highlighted numerous times. This is usually Epic Games' way to ensure the community knows what to expect.

POIs coming to Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2

Haunted Hills
Junk Junction
Shifty Shafts
Snobby Shores
Tilted Towers

Note that there will be more POIs present on the Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 map. As for Landmarks, Epic Games has yet to reveal them officially.
