Long-time players of Fortnite, often dubbed as the original game enthusiasts or OG players, are especially excited at the possibility of a return to these memorable locations. The very thought of revisiting the old maps has sparked a wave of nostalgia amongst them.

These rumors got further fuelled by the 26.30 patch. As per the patch note, it introduced Fortnitemares 2023 and a Time Machine to the island, pushing the speculation about the return of the old maps even further.

Players are trying to piece together this latest puzzle from the leaks about the upcoming Chapter 4, Season 5 of the game. Known Fortnite leaker, 'Egyptian Fortnite Leaker,' has piped in suggesting that the next season will feature a “time corruption”.

This “time corruption” could result in rolling back different seasons of the Chapter 1 maps during the gameplay. This leak has further invigorated the speculation about the return of the old maps.

Adding credibility to these rumors, some unexpected items from Chapter 1 Season 5 started showing up in the Frenzy Fields on the current Fortnite island.
