Fortnite’s OG Butterfly Event Set for November 8, 2025

LOS ANGELES, CA — Fortnite is set to recreate one of its most iconic events with the OG Butterfly Event on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 2 PM ET. Fans will be able to participate in the event during regular matches in Fortnite’s OG mode, featuring a twist on the original Chapter 1 Butterfly Event.

The event kicks off at Loot Lake, where players can experience a transformed version of the game world, featuring a corrupted red version of Kevin the Cube. Players are encouraged to join lobbies at least 30 minutes before the start time to secure their spots.

According to Epic Games, the live event will allow players to interact closely with a cosmic butterfly, marking a significant difference from previous events that were less directly engaging for participants. In this iteration, players will enter a rift dimension and experience dimension-warping effects as the butterfly surrounds them.

As players anticipate the reunion with the butterfly, the atmosphere on the island has already begun to shift, with visual changes hinting at the upcoming event. “Small wings create huge ripples across reality,” Epic Games said in their promotional material, building excitement for what’s to come.

This event follows closely on the heels of another significant live event held just a week prior, showcasing Epic’s commitment to keeping the gameplay experience fresh for returning fans as the OG Season 6 approaches its conclusion on December 11.

For players who have enjoyed the nostalgic elements of Fortnite, this event is a chance to relive the excitement of Chapter 1 with some new twists, though specific details about the alterations have been kept under wraps. The event is expected to last around 10 to 15 minutes, with players encouraged to be ready for both excitement and any possible surprises that may emerge during the experience.

As Fortnite OG continues to attract attention from both veteran and new players alike, anticipation is building for the OG Butterfly Event as it promises to be a highlight of the season.
