Project Nova is a third-party mod for Fortnite that allows players to experience the game as it was in Chapter 1. This means you can access all the features, maps, items, and weapons that were available during that time period. In essence, it lets you play "OG Fortnite" unofficially. If you are interested in the mod, here’s a quick rundown of everything you need to know about Project Nova for Fortnite.
Who Should Install Project Nova in Fortnite?
If You Want Access to Chapter 1 content: You can play on the Chapter 1 map, use all the weapons and items that were available then, and even equip classic Chapter 1 skins like Black Knight and Skull Trooper.
If You Want Third-Party Multiplayer: Project Nova allows you to play with other players online, just like the official Fortnite game.
If You Want to Play Different game modes: You can enjoy a variety of game modes, including Battle Royale, Team Rumble, and Creative.
Project Nova is completely free to download so play and if you find pages that ask you to pay for the mod, steer away immediately. Project Nova is not officially endorsed or supported by Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite. While many people have reported using it without any issues, there is always a risk of getting banned when using third-party mods.
