The British Army made its own Fortnite map as a recruitment tool, but Epic could block it
America's Army was at one time the world's most (in)famous videogame military recruitment tool, but now that it's out of the picture the British are taking their shot. The British Army has revealed a new «Fortnite experience» called Operation: Belong, and it plans to livestream an influencer-led competition on it next week.
Yung Filly and Elz the Witch are set to compete head-to-head on the map next week, but it has yet to be approved by Epic Games and isn't available to the public.
It's possible that Epic could turn the British Army away. Its rules for commercial and sponsored content say that it «must not promote enrolment in the military,» and Operation: Belong is pretty overtly a recruitment effort
«You belong here,» the video says as rousing music plays in the background. «Work as one. Test your agility. Unlock the enigma. Conquer obstacles. Apply your training.»
Epic isn't commenting on the status of the map, except to say that it's going through the moderation process now.
«This island has not yet been published to Fortnite (IE it is not accessible to players) and is undergoing moderation, as does all content in the Fortnite Ecosystem,» an Epic representative said in a statement provided to PC Gamer. «All content and creators must adhere to our Content Guidelines and Creator Rules. Since the Island is in moderation right now, the situation may evolve and we're in touch with the creators.»
