Gamers worldwide are preparing for one of the most talked-about events in Fortnite history. The Fortnite OG Rocket Launch Live Event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 26, 2025, bringing the iconic Rocket back for the first time in Fortnite OG mode.
This Rocket has launched twice before, each time leaving a permanent impact on the Fortnite universe. What sets this event apart is that it’s happening within the OG experience, a limited-time mode that resurrects Fortnite’s original Chapter 1 gameplay and aesthetics.
