Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, titled Pacific Break, has arrived with a massive overhaul to the main Battle Royale mode. However, several fan-favorite secondary modes have been temporarily taken offline, including the likes of Blitz, OG, and Delulu. This temporary removal encourages you to fully experience the new map, mechanics, and Hollywood-themed loot pool.
Fortunately, there is good news that Epic Games has provided a clear schedule for when these modes will return. If you are interested in learning further about the release dates of Ranked, Reload, Blitz, OG, and Delulu, you can check out the section below.
When do Ranked, Reload, Blitz, OG, and Delulu modes return in Fortnite?
At the time of writing, the main Battle Royale and Zero Build modes are currently using the new Tsunami Surf drop mechanic. This is because the Battle Bus is "out of commission" due to the events of the Zero Hour live event. Once the bus returns, some of the popular playlists will also be reintroduced into the battle royale title. Listed below are further specifics about the return dates of the modes.
- Reload: December 4 (Returns with a new map called Surf City)
- Blitz Royale: December 4 (Returns with a new island called Starfall Island)
- Ranked: December 4 (Returns alongside the other modes once the Battle Bus is back in commission)
- Fortnite OG: December 11 (Returns with a new throwback season themed around Season 7 content)
- Delulu: December 12 (The popular mode will return shortly after the OG season launch)
Why did Epic Games delay these modes in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
Epic Games deliberately vaults modes like Reload and Blitz during major Chapter launches to focus the entire player base on the main Battle Royale experience. As a result, they are able to stress-test the new features and eventually make the necessary improvements.
The official update notes on Fortnite’s website indicate that the Battle Bus will be back in commission on December 4. Thus, Reload, Blitz, and Ranked are all set to return on that date. This also suggests that the Tsunami Drop mechanic will likely become optional or temporary after that time.
When Reload and Blitz return on December 4, they will feature entirely new maps. These maps will feature the Chapter 7 theme, and there are going to be several changes tailored for their specific gameplay.
This was all you needed to know about when Ranked, Reload, Blitz, OG, and Delulu modes return to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, and you will finally be able to relive these modes in the game.
