The authors PlayerUnknown”s Battlegrounds accused the competitor of plagiarism
Responsible for the hit PlayerUnknown”s Battlegrounds Korean Studio Bluehole begins to “show teeth”: the company has accused the makers of Fortnite in plagiarism. In connection with the growing popularity of the mode “battle Royal”, is most clearly represented in PUBG, more and more developers seek to add to your game something like that, and this is perfectly normal. However, the authors Fortnite went a little further, and this provoked Bluehole.
Studio Epic Games decided not to follow Rockstar with their GTA Online and simply implement resembling PUBG regime in its cartoonish shooter Fortnite. Instead, she announced the imminent release of a separate game called “Fortnite: battle Royale”. In fact, it’s the same PlayerUnknown”s Battlegrounds, only in a different visual design and elements of construction. They even work on the same Unreal Engine 4. In addition, Epic Games is actively using a variety of references to the creation of Brendan green and Bluehole Studio in the advertising campaign of the new game. And all this without permission.

In theory, even this is not quite the correct behavior, Epic Games did not promise would be no difficulty PlayerUnknown”s Battlegrounds. If not two “but”: first, “Fortnite: battle Royale” will be released on September 26, while PUBG is still in early access, and secondly, it will be free, unlike games Bluehole. The developers of the Korean Studio expressed concern over the act of Epic Games and hinted at a violation of copyright. Now Bluehole is considering their next steps. If the Studio can’t resolve the emerging conflict, the matter may end in court.
