Thank you for watching!! :)
An additional note regarding Reboot Royale: I had the wonderful opportunity to meet TheBoyDilly and the Good Gamers crew in-person at Unreal Fest Seattle, and I asked about RR. He re-iterated my theory that it was simply not worth the resources and time in what was, at the time, a very unstable engine. They wanted to work on more fulfilling and successful original projects, and I respect that! He also quite enjoyed my two videos, which was lovely to hear. I was a little nervous he wouldn't HAHA.
Thank you for watching this trilogy! The first "Reboot & Atlas" video was the one to put me on the map back in 2023, and it's been super cool to watch the progression of these projects until the eventual return of Fortnite OG, for good.
Edit, Jan 7 2025: the clip at 01:00 is from UA-cam Channel "TeeRich"! I try to credit all the gameplay clips I use, I'm sorry this one got missed!
Cool
Cool
For the time being, Rewind was an extremely great experience, even seeing the live event in real time! It's a shame that poor timing was its ultimate downfall.
Wdym bad timing?
@@Bupe_DakaOG fort is a permanent thing now lol so the maps are kinda pointless

@Blocky-1Found the NickEh30 fanboy
Rewind never happened though
6:41 I feel bad for the dev since everyone literally turned on him for no reason. He gave y'all an original experience and people just shat on him all because fortnite themselves announced the OG mode.
It's like that one monment from Spider-Man 2002.
I'm in the video 3:07
@owpuppyPlayz Oh, that's cool

Bro really deserved better after all that hard work his fans turned on him. But good thing, at least, he made like his own season of og as if it ever has a season 11.
Man I wish epic put as much effort into the real og game mode like these guys, it would feel so good.
Bruh they did you asked for OG you got it now be greatful
Bruh they did you asked for OG you got it now be greatfup those guys are dead now so too bad
@Qu4rttzfortnite glazer😭✌🏽
@Qu4rttzst fu it’s not even og I’m not grateful because rewind was better the new mode has reboots springs slides and none of those are og
The fact that a few groups of people are complaining about not having OG graphics or mechanics while this dude did all that while them not even knowing is crazy, Not to mention people were also saying epic’s ‘OG OG’ isnt even remotely close.
Yeah,this shows that OG was a rushed gamemode probably
Rewind Is The og og og
Its miles off where tf is the centre health bar
@@Flowey_the_Flower.the issue with that is the original map and battle royale mode took epic a single week to make, they 1000% spent more time on the og remake but it falls so short
@@Alphoricwe don't need that ugly healthbar that blocks your character, og is just so much better with the new mechanics and quality of life improvements and that's a fact
Wtf, I try to always look out for big creative maps to play cause I'm very big on creative, and I somehow have never heard of rewind until now. I feel like I've missed out...
Frr
Yeah you did miss out sorry to tell you
What games have you made
They made Playground mode for some Seasons, you can play S1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 right now, just search Playground and they will probably be there
Me too, this video is pretty much the first time I heard about this mode.
now that the chapter 1 models for the guns are in creative this will make it even better and they can switch it out for the chapter 2 models
Not just the models, but also the original specs for those old versions of those weapons. The Chapter 1 Season 1 SMG had a huge fire rate of 15 shots per second. That's much faster than the fire rate of the later season SMGs. And blue (rare) OG SMG has 16 damage per shot, for the huge damage rate of 240 damage per second.
I low-key feel like epic brought back Og cuz of these replicas and they were mad cuz they got attention
Or they tried to stop people from wasting their time knowing they were bringing back OG full time. Epic announced bringing back a full time OG after the OG season last year
dude og was announced like a year ago as a permanent mode
Uh no. They did it to get more people to play. Epic being jealous of some map creators because they made a map that got some attention is such a stupid thought. That's like being jealous of an ant.
When Fortnite launched UEFN tons of people decided bringing back ch1 however Fortnite brought back OG themselves as a season and then OG was brought back via Yapmaps OG after that season and OG Fortnite returned permanently via Fortnite and Rewind Royale now are making custom POI'S and biomes on the ch1 map
I used to be a contribute a lot to the Rewind team by helping them with promotion on tiktok making edits and getting the word out. The Pandvil team did their best, and a lot of sleepless nights just to get the game running and making us happy. Those were days to remember really

Let’s go 🎉 I love videos like this and I have been waiting for you to mention rewind royale.
It's my most requested video ever! And I love to please. 🙂
the fact that everyone was complaining that fortnite's og gamemode wasnt 100% faithful when they couldve had this is crazy.
I played Rewind to get the daily discovery XP during ch 5. Couldn’t have fun with it. Started getting teamers in almost every game. With regular OG and getting rid of the XP incentive to play creative maps it’s not really necessary anymore. Even after Lachlan made his videos about Rewind the biggest lobby I personally saw was about 30 players on na west.
I'm on n a east and I rarely ever seen big lobbies in any of these modes. If it's not an epic official one I never get a full lobby
thats the ultimate downfall of these modes, you'll never get enough players for a lobby
Man I loved this, I’m a playtester for rewind and it was so fun playing updates before anyone else
Let's goo made a cameo 🙏 never got to watch the event either, was away from home 😭
It's kinda 'Sad because it was better and more realistic than epics mode. Epic should have partnered up with pandwil to make an insanely realistic chapter 1 experience yet they didn't. That would have been so cool and would have definitively changed Creative and fortnite forever if 'Epic used his map for their OG mode and or other maps from creators for other modes and made it a little more realistic with OG Weapons. Almost everything was in his map already...
shut up
shut up
The thing is epic would NEVER partner with a creative team because they dont need to. If epic wanted to make their gamemode 1 to 1 they would've. They have it how it is now to also appeal to both new and old players but mainly old.
@@Ponzzz120Hzno, I don’t think so. Things that wouldn’t even have discouraged new players were completely left out/forgotten
@@BUCKS.GENERATE-TIPS-l9v i already said ts on another vid
I’ve been playing pandvil boxfights for almost 3 years now and I didn’t even hear about that 💀💀
rewind definitely had the heart of an indie company with their map, community cultivation on twitter with them was also so so good.
I wish they still kept it going even with OG mode out 😢
Good seeing that you uploaded jakus
I'll be doing a lot more of that this year
Why have i never heard of this map until now?
Because it’s really not a big deal like he’s claiming. There were never enough players to have a full lobby. 5-12 people playing an entire BR match at most on the OG map really boring
@@mattg7952not true before og there were full lobbies
@@mattg7952 im from europe and i always got 80 player lobbies (Before OG fortnite dropped of course.)
I still think it would be nice if epic had the old hud too it would just be a nice touch for og
6:13 the doctor who clip really caught me off guard 😭
Me too bruh
Rewind royale is still better than og made by epic, the rewind royale give that og fortnite vibe that og made by epic dont
I made a few videos on rewind royale awhile back. Genuinely the most fun I had on Fortnite in a long time. I still personally play sometimes but it’s just not the same as it once was. Today they teased the return of the project which has given me high hopes just hope it recaptures the glory of its former peak
Nah what the actual heck. I knew about the remakes. But I didn’t know Rewind was that good.
Thank you your video has probably made a lot more people try out the map
I loved Rewind Royale. And even tho I love that OG Fortnite is back officially for good they should’ve at least hired the Pandvil guys considering’s there’s still details missing from OG atm.
What boggles my mind is how easy they made it look to do Fortnite's job better than Fortnite
YOOO JAKUS!!!
I saw you first time from Cody's video lol
IM IN THE VIDEO 3:07
niceee 😊❤
That save the world theme in battle royal idea was just the best thing you could do to your map. I'm sad now
i think if you did make 1 more video on the subject, it should go more in depth about season 1 playground by the rewind royale team and also the playground maps created by t3ctor/totem. despite og coming back permanently, those maps have found a way to piggyback off of the success of og by recreating that classic playground/battle lab feel that was lost with the removal of creative royale except on those classic maps, somewhat preserving a piece of the game’s history even further. and after the eventual release of fortnite og, they even used that to their advantage by being able to add those classic weapon models for the pump, burst rifle, revolver, etc. to their maps to make it feel even closer to those old days as accurately as a fan project possibly can
It's kinda Sad because it was better and more realistic than epics mode. Epic should have partnered up with pandwil to make an insanely realistic chapter 1 experience yet they didn't. That would have been so cool and would have definitively changed Creative and fortnite forever if Epic used his map for their OG mode and or other maps from creators for other modes and made it a little more realistic with OG Weapons. Almost everything was in his map already.😢
Copy cat
Rewind Royale and reload is what kept me from quitting during the chapter 5 era, and I’m very appreciative for the development team
Doctor Who clip in a Jack's Video Before GTA6
Look i never played og Fortnite i started at chapter 4 BUT personally i did grew up watching old Fortnite videos from old chapters and to be honest seeing rewind gave me hope that i can experience the og game everyone wanted
“They took everything from me… They took my old movements, and my community..”
Hey man, thank you for using my video clips in your video!❤
If Fortnite doesn’t bring back chapter 2 they should just let people remake it
True.. Let's see what happerns with Apollo Heat game.. hope they'll allow that
Thea Made a own Projekt with ch3 s1
Fortnite has really progressed to being able to have Fortnite within Fortnite.
This video is the first time I ever heard about Rewind Royale being a thing.
Cant wait gor the 4th video!
Rewind is updating again, the cube is currently moving every 30 minutes.
I never knew about this game mode. I remember playing Atlas and reboot but I really wish I had got to play rewind during some of those oldest seasons
that's actually so sad. i do hope that in a future that OG does not exist, RR will come back.
how did i not hear about this?????
I only remember Pandvil as the dude who made a baby rage in the creative discord because people were calling him out for trying to publish a near-empty map.
People should start making remakes of absolutely despised seasons just because it would be funny
Rewind was great I hope they try to salvage it with ltms
based on the fact that they hopefully have the old movement in the games, they would still get a few players. Not enough, just some
Rewind Royal's live event was a big hit in Japan and garnered over 1000 likes on Twitter.
2:40 you know what else is massive 🥷
exactly what i said lol
Lowwwwwwwwww tapppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeee3333eeeeeeeerrrrrr faaaaadddddddddeeee
OG mode is dead too right now, no one is playing the competitive og mode. Is not just the same, Rewind Royale is better.
Man, I hate the new og mode because it has the new movement has bots and didn’t change all the models and man it just sucks, this is miles better
Imo new movement better
Idc abt the movement but the gun models. The scar bro, the most iconic gun in all of fortnite and its done halfway
Nah fr u hate the mantleing sm not just in og buh br in general all mfs do is jump or run though ur shi
We're going home boys....
I still play rewind royale sometimes and its legit just filled with sweats
jesus christ its trippy how close it is to the original, hard to place my finger on whats missing from 2023s og and the current og
Well I’m sure there’s tons of us seeing this now knowing we missed out. Defs checking this out, if they got the og movement I’m in there for good
I completely forgot this happened, I stopped playing because I didn’t know they were going to keep updating and bringing back seasons, that’s so sad 😭
6:13 nice doctor who reaction
Crazy how Rewind is more OG than OG
Instead of rewind Royale where your chapter 2 game Apollo heat game jakus I’m waiting
Its-a comin’
wrong-a! im-a comin'! you could-a say im-a goonin'!
@@jakusidk btw is it season 2 or another season
I'm eagerly waiting too.. I just hope Epic will allow it, people keep talking about this chapter 2 copyright regulation as some killer for such a attempt. I don't really know the specifics so I just hope they're wrong and the map will be allowed to stay. It would be a shame for it to not be allowed after all the wait and effort
It's actually better than current og so I will still play it
Its pretty insane that you can make fortnite in fortnite
This was by far the best OG Remake. It fell victim to bad timing which is really sad. Epic should’ve teamed with them to make Fortnite OG because they did great.
I have a feeling that they heard us for years say we want chapter 1 so what they are doing is spoiling us so that by the end of this year we end up being sick of chapter 1 it’s smart. To make us want other content but u already know we just gonna ask for chapter 2 and 3 but they won’t give us that for a couple years unless they are trying to go on a godly run
Honestly the only reason I prefer fortnite OG to these maps is cause, as a switch player, UEFN maps that big are really hard for me to play
Epic gotta hire these guys
I would appreciate it if they went on to make Playground versions of previous seasons, I want to recreate movies I made when I was little
I’m gonna be honest, I never knew this existed
Great vid, very interesting😁
i bet u epic won't try nearly as hard as these guys at pandvil
i think that rewind is much better than the actual thing, cuz because they took EVERY small detail from ch1 and added it in their mode, something that epic games for some dumb reason, never did
I love your video jakus
I love your comment ohio996
Better than the official one epic games made, thats crazy.
It would be cool if they did an event which diverged from the actual fn timeline into a custom timeline
I have a theory, Epic probably saw that RR (Rewind Royale) was getting popular, and they were like:
“Oh no, we can’t let people relive the REAL OG, we have to make our own with the new movement and mechanics because we think that the other remakes are irrelevant.”
After season 2 i kept getting bugs and ultimately decided i had my fill of OG Fortnite
i think i remember playing rewind royale (I say i think cause it was a while ago) and it was season 2 and i never played in chapter 1 but it really felt like i have with this map
I still do not understand why you can’t put the health bar in the middle like it used to be. It’s impossible to check health mid fight without looking away from the person you’re fighting with the current placement. It’s just so annoying when they change UI and remove the ability to revert
This looks better than the OG in the game right now
To be honest Fortnite should’ve let pandvil cook and wait for rewind royale to fall off before they would launch the permanent og because they don’t lose money from pandvil’s map but that’s just my pov
This will always be better than the official OG Fortnite revival
There was barely any players. The OG mode will always be better.
We need chapter 2 and 3 rerelease desperately
Rewind was my way to have an authentic chapter 1 experience but the new chapter 6 jump ruins the immersion
i’m sick of chapter 1 remakes can we have chapter 3 remakes
Thwre is one
CHAPTER 2 REMAKES MAN PLEASE
People can't do it since Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are owned by Epic it would be against their TOS
@brw3653_ and chapter one isn’t?
@ShadowmanDan When UEFN released back in march of 2023, they said that they were gonna allow Chapter 1 remakes, but the creators wouldn't be able to get money from any project, since many people wanted to experience OG fortnite during that period with the power of UEFN
This guy is slept on
I want to see a map where its chapter 1 season 11 and we get new stuff on the chapter 1 map
Fortnite og og has confirmed they will be making that a season lol.
Rewind royal needs to make a chapter 2 map
It would get shut down.
OG OG Fortnite happened...
Music in the background - hydrocity act 2 sonic 3 and knuckles
Omg I never even heard of rewind Royale
I wish I'd hopped on this, never seen it a I took a break a few months before og 2 season. I'm unsure if the devs are still in it but I think someone gotta tackle chapter 2, or do some battle Royale taking ideas from the custom biomes in rewind and making their own battle royale or mini battle Royale. I'm surprised that this map has actually lost that many players afterwards because OG has not been what everyone thought it was going to be. Shame this just wasn't a year early ya know
Ima be honest
rewind royale did better than the actual OG mode
9:02 MASSIVE? ok ok im done all jokes aside im shocked i didnt know about this
honestly i would say for epic to pick up all the devs that made rewind and any other good/ great og creative experiences and have them work on the new og fortnite. 🤷♂️
fortnite really saw rewind gaining traction and decided to drop og 💀
Please start playing guys
Rewind royale is now gonna add season 6!
