I remember seeing this trailer in a best buy in 2017. Man, I didn’t expect what the future of this game would be.

People forget that THIS is what fortnite is supposed to be

Wow this game looks good as hell. It would be crazy if they added Peter Griffin to it

I remember seeing this at random and not thinking much of it. Wow how things have changed. Humble beginnings

Who agrees that epic needs to make more short animated videos like this?

This could easily be turned into a movie. That would be sick

“Aye man, I’m a little bored. Wanna play Save The World?” “No, I don’t have that mode.”

Really feels like some classic TF2 cinematics… such a shame they never went back to it in favour of Battle Royale. A lot of animated potential.

STW is actually a legitimately enjoyable mode. It is a perfect loop of progression, combat, with the added toppings of great music, stunning scenery, constant development (this has slowed down the last year RIP), and a decent, humorous story with a thoughtful development team. I know that it has slowed down of recent years, however if you look at the game and realize the depth and thought that has been put in to it I think you'll appreciate it.

Anyone else just get this in their recommended?

Damn what a nice game! Hope it doesn't get forgotten in about 2 years of release

I remember watching this trailer with my brothers when it was shown. And we were pretty interested. It had been a while since we'd played any local multiplayer games, and this seemed like it would be a lot of fun, like a cartoony CoD Zombies meets L4D. Then, everything changed when the Battle Royale and the fortnite dancers attacked.

Back to when STW wasn’t treated like garbage

0:52 They're clearly being attacked because they've been hoarding toilet paper.

Best Fortnite trailer still today.

The animation and the voice acting is fantastic. Even how they started building up the story at the start of this game is just genius. Brought so much life to the characters too. Fortnite needs to do more of these again

This was always so underrated, kinda sad about how Epic is treating STW

they actually had voice acting and it was good

You know, people say that fortnite copied pubg, but actually fortnite was originally made to be a game about fighting the storm and zombie husks and saving the world, battle royale came later as a 100 PvP Free Edition

the fact that this is the only time we see a child fn character is crazy

Can’t believe it went from this to 9 year olds vibing to A god size Travis Scott while being high

I remember when I bought Save the World on accident. Best accident I have ever made. Edit: To stop the questions of how did you buy it on accident let me clarify. I wanted see how much it cost because my friends were playing it. So my dumbass self clicked purchase to see how much It would cost because usually there's verification. My intent wasn't to buy it but see the cost of it. But instead of taking me to a verification screen it bought it straight away. So please for the love of god, STOP SPAMMING ME

Just imagine that without this, the most popular game of all time wouldn’t exist.

Wait...Guns...AHHHH

OHH YEAH PIZZA

If Fortnite made mini movies like this at the beginning and end of every season I wouldn't complain.

Wow what a cool game… sure hope that becomes popular

This ad feels like a Valve made tf2 short

Please don’t end support epic. Save the world is what started BR. It has so much potential. Don’t give up yet!

i remember seeing this as an ad with my cousin and I told him “Hey this looks fun.” later did I know that i’d be addicted to the battle royale mode.

I really wish this game pulled through a lot more than it did ❤

This was peak fortnite. I wish I could go back😢

1:07 Sweats when they hear a footstep.

Wow I miss this

1:35 look at this dudes reaction when Penny said "Heads up!" Look at his eyes bro XD

How'd this go from that to Omni-Man, Eminem, and Peter Griffin lol

Anyone here after they canceled production on save the world

Fortnite before: Shooting zombies Fortnite now: Shooting toxic five-year-olds edit: Stop saying they are the same!

i wish epic still cared about stw the way they used too :(

And now we have rick sanchez, optimus prime, kakashi, and khaby lame doing the gangnam style

I’m starting to respect default skins more after rewatching this trailer...

Man, I miss when people actually played save the world, now it's just forgotten (When I said forgotten I meant the devs have abandoned it for battle royale.)

For those who are wondering the song name is: The Misfits - Astro Zombies

wow, this game looks nice, cant wait to see how far can it go

And.....THIS is our only animated cutscene besides the canny valley one. While BR gets animations for a freaking *SKIN*

3:00 That's Dennis and Summer from the Valentines quests!

This is the clip that started it all for og. we are fortnite.✊

Feels fitting to have this recommended before the remake of Ch1

It would be amazing if this was like a show or a movie or just something over all

Funny how they forget about this mode, this is what their game was first developed as and they now treat stw with no updates and just copy and paste from battle royale.

What's crazy to me is the fact that they released this in July 2017, and then saw how popular Battle Royales were becoming at the time, and then pushed out a whole BR mode 2 months later, making it become one of the biggest games in the world

2023 and takes me back to 2017 when I first played it 😩😩

Tbh, I saw this way back as an ad on KZfaq. I literally thought that this game was never going to catch on. Boy was I proven wrong.

Who else is here after they just announced that they're abandoning the game

I remember see this on TV for the first time and thought it was interesting… never knew how big it would become

ummm, this trailer has guns this isn't appropiate for a game that is E rated

Imagine Save the world was actually like this, it would be amazing

Just got this recommended to me.... God, this feels ancient.

It's kinda depressing seeing what the game originally was and what it turned into

Who else started in July 2017? Man, I was so hyped for the potential this game had, now in 2021 im saddened they completely quit on stw players.

It’s crazy how something so fun can be made so enraging by people who do the most for a simple kill

I would like fortnite to take more care about stw... I think it is never gonna happen 🙂

I remember as a kid seeing this as an ad while watching KZfaq back then.

Ah, what could've been. I remember people speculating this was a Character Based Team Wave game. So every character had special abilities, etc. Too bad they never went free with the original idea.

Anyone think this would make a kickass movie or animated show?

this should be a tv show xD

I love his fortnite was meant to be a zombie survival game, but then transformed to what it is today, the Battle Royale legend

I swear to god they have to make a tv show cartoon for fortnite this Is amazing I forgot how good the first cinematic was

Stop Saying you played in Season 1. It don’t get more OG than Save The World.

2:10 TO THE RUSC-

I bought the game in 2018 and got myself midway through plankerton. Picked it back up again at the start of 2020 and I’ve played nonstop on it ever since. I’ve played just about every venture season. I’m Power Level 138, max currently is 139. It’s addicting and there’s a variety of ways to level yourself up which is fun. The dialogue of the storyline is clever and funny. I have founder pack too so i still earn vbucks off it.

“You guys should make a battle royale out of this. Might not do well, but it’s worth a shot, yknow?”

*_Ah ThE dUrRr BuRgEr My FaVoRiTe EsTaBlIsHmEnT_*

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME SINCE 2013 DEAR LORD IM SO EXCITED TO PLAY IT FINALLY!! I didn't get to play much because my PC was trash but now that it will be on console

Damn, crazy how most players weren't even born when this video came out.

i really miss the og fortnite because there wasnt a whole lot of sweats and there was people playing the gamer to have fun. does anybody know that name of the song that played in the background of the trailer.

Who’s here after they just announced save the world is ending 😭

No one gonna talk about how they leaked the flare gun 3 years ago

This trailer hits different after knowing that the last reality is the cause of this

I visually remember seeing this ad in december of 2017, watched half of it and clicked off... man if only I pressed download

Dam, epic games should make a tv show.

Why its recomended now? Btw The Animations is better that season 4 trailer

For a mode that has around 5% of the people who play fortnite, this mode is very underrated! I honestly find myself doing missions while im bored of playing battle royal.

remember what they took from us

I AM SO READY FOR THIS GAMEEEEEE

Me: "This game literally can not get any better" Developers: "We're going to be using Misfits 'Astro Zombies' in the cinematic trailer"

Remember when Fortnite showcased a gripping storyline that features the players fighting parallel zombies instead of just being a run/gun online market? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

i just watched this a lot of times and only after playing STW a lot i noticed Dennis

They would recommend this after they give up on STW

This is insane. The first time I saw this video it was an ad I saw on KZfaq on my Wii U 3 years ago. I thought "Oh yea, this is gonna be another one of those games you see people do a playthrough of once and you never see the game again." Now it's one of the most popular games in the world and one of my favorites. 😳

This gives me goosebumps

And now we have peter griffin cranking.

I need this in my life!

Who else is here in October

this game had a lot of potential, but then money kicked in, battle royale took over the main game, today even the mode selection screen is gone

"We never knew we were making memories, we were just having fun" -pooh :(

God, this Animation looks like something out of tf2. That's a good thing

Easily one of the best gaming cinematics ever made imo.

Fortnite now its nothing like it intended to be

You know what this game needs? Ripley and Omniman shuffling.
