After the arrival of Fortnite OG in December 2024, fans have been part of a lot of nostalgic aspects of this highly popular battle royale title. With iconic maps like Dusty Depot, Tomato Town, and classic weapons like Pump Shotguns, SCAR, and many more, this permanent game mode became an instant hit.
Now, as things stand, this fan-favorite game mode is going to bring back another forgotten memory, which was last seen in the Chapter 1 Season 4 of the game, in the form of a live event.
Fortnite OG live event
: Blast Off launch date and more details
Live events have always been a treat in Fortnite. Recently, the Galactic Battle season saw its horizon with the arrival of Death Star Sabotage live event. Similarly, Fortnite OG is also gearing up for a live-event which is actually going to be referenced from a historic event in the original game, which takes us seven years back.
The upcoming live event in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 4 is going to be called Blast Off, which is launching July 26, 2025. Despite having a confirmed date, we are yet to get the official timings of this event, which will likely begin at 11 AM PDT.
However, the official announcement advised the players to keep an eye on the official social channels of Fortnite. Except the release date and the name, we don't have any more details regarding the event. But this is what the official description of Blast Off states:
'In the aftermath of the meteor, a mysterious figure has been seen around the Island, followed everywhere they go by murmurs of rockets and secret lairs.
As Chapter 1 Season 4 progresses so too will the story of The Visitor — and it all seems to lead back to the rocket launch that changed the Island forever.'
Now, what does it mean? This event will actually reenact the first ever event during the original game's Chapter 1 Season 4 in 2018. This is when everything began as a rocket blasted off into the sky and in turns of events, created Cracks or Sideways Rifts in the sky. These rifts connect several realities together across space and time. That means we are going to see something similar in this upcoming event as well.

PEAK future roadmap explored
Image via Landfall. There is no doubt that PEAK by Aggro Crab and Landfall has to be one of the most talked about video games right now. This title is so simple, but still is jam-packed with great gameplay. PEAK is actually a mountain climbing simulator, which can be played solo or in a squad. A unique feature of this game is that each in-game day features a brand new map across four unique biomes. Players are stranded on a mysterious island, where they need to find their way out scaling mountains by scavenging food and equipping climbing gears. All over, fans have liked this game very much, and that is why we might see new updates of this game very soon. PEAK developers confirmed future updates and localization PEAK will get future major updates. | Image via Landfalll. In a post on Steam, both the developing companies of Peak, Aggro Crab and Landfall thanked the fans for this unwavering support from the fans. In this post, the developers also confirmed that there will be future updates for this game, although they are in the 'very early stages.' As of now Peak has received a number of updates, but all of them were stability and bug fixing patches, so no substantial upgrades or new contents have been implemented so far. However, the game isn't free from all the bugs yet as it is still facing disconnection glitches, optimization issues, crashes, etc. So more small patches are expected to be on the way. In the FAQ section from Landfall's official website, the developers stated that they didn't have any plans for future PEAK updates at that point as both Aggro Crab and Landfall have other projects ahead of them. However, the promising words from the developers via the Steam post seal that there will certainly be major updates in the future, like major content addition or quality of life upgrades. The developer team also confirmed that localization would be coming soon as well, that means the game will support more regional languages, specific UI adjustments and many more. These decisions at least make it sure that the road of PEAK is not ending here, and the developers are definitely having a thought about its future. Actually the developers themselves never thought that a small game like PEAK which costs just $8 would burst into the scene so wildly. The game sold more than two million copies world-wide in just nine days of its release. So, developers have realized that the fans are definitely in for the next stage of PEAK.
