Fortnite OG Season 2 is back! For the first time in more than six years, players can drop into the original map with Tilted Towers. Epic Games has brought back many classic weapons and locations, along with a new OG Pass. However, many Fortnite players believe that the game developer will bring back the original Season 2 Battle Pass as well.

Will you really have a chance to obtain exclusive Fortnite skins and emotes soon? Let’s find out!

Is Fortnite Season 2 Battle Pass coming back?

Back in Fortnite Season 2, Epic Games released the first Battle Pass. This progression system was a game-changer, as it introduced numerous rewards for only 950 V-Bucks. The pass included many fantastic items, from Black Knight to Sparkle Specialist. Besides skins, owners of the pass were also able to unlock a couple of iconic emotes, such as The Worm.

With the return of OG Season 2 on January 31, many members of the community believe that Epic will bring back the original Battle Pass as well. This is mostly based on a trailer, which shows Sparkle Specialist right after the “it’s all back” message. Furthermore, some players still think that Season 1 cosmetics should have never returned.

To start off, it’s important to clarify that Season 1 items have never been exclusive. From the very first Battle Pass, Epic Games clarified that the included cosmetics are exclusive. However, the first Fortnite season did not have a Battle Pass. Instead, it had a so-called Season Shop, which was never meant to be exclusive.

Back in the summer of 2024, the company made seasonal passes non-exclusive. Starting with Chapter 5 – Season 3, items from the passes may come to the Item Shop in the future. While this is a positive change for new players, Epic made it clear that it doesn’t affect older passes.

It’s important to note that Sparkle Specialist was made available outside of the Fortnite Season 2 Battle Pass. The skin was awarded as a prize in the Boogiedown contest, which took place two months after the season ended. However, this doesn’t necessarily indicate that Epic will bring back the entire Battle Pass. This rumor is purely fan speculation and is unlikely to come to fruition.
