Fortnite Creative players get special permission to recreate the game's original map
Epic Games is updating its terms and conditions to grant special permission to those recreating in-game versions of Fortnite Battle Royale's original map.
Earlier this week, Epic finally launched Fortnite Creative 2.0, enabling large-scale player creations such as maps, modes, and more. Recreating copyrighted intellectual property, such as previous versions of Fortnite, isn't allowed under the game's terms and conditions, but Epic is granting special permission to fans recreating the original Battle Royale map.
"We are as excited as you to relive the experiences we shared in the original Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 1 map, and so we are granting a special and specific exception to allow creators to publish their own remakes of the Chapter 1 maps," Epic's announcement (opens in new tab) reads. Epic reasserts that this is the only exception they'll be making for Unreal Editor creations.
Epic is making this exemption because teams of fans have actually already recreated Fortnite's original Battle Royale map in Unreal Editor. One team, called Reboot Royale, has just recently put their recreation into beta, which is why Epic Games has been so quick on announcing the change in their policy.
We're in the final preparations of publishing Reboot Royale for everyone to play!Here is a first look at actual footage from UEFN editor and gameplay. Stay tuned for launch!
