Hey everyone,
We’ve seen a lot of discussions and claims around creators copying other creator’s islands/ideas/games. We’re taking some time in this post to discuss what is considered innovating on an existing game/idea versus a malicious or deceptive mirror of someone else’s creation. The two examples we are talking about here are...
The difference between making a map because it is a popular game mode and innovating on the existing genre to draw in players and build your own community.
AND
Using a popular map’s same exact name/iconography/images/thumbnails/videos to trick players into visiting your island, where they think they are playing the original map and not a new one.
We actually already have a rule against this ...

You’ve awakened on the Island, coming to realize you weren’t extracted after your last Squads match. Stranded with 15 others, you now must prove you’re capable of overcoming the wild by making an escape.
The reward for victory in this “Impossible Escape” Limited Time Mode? Not just securing freedom but also the new Impossible Odds Loading Screen and Escapist Umbrella.
There are three Choppas on the Island or one, depending on whether you’re playing the PvE or PvP version of the mode. But escape isn’t as simple as just boarding one. Each Choppa is in need of repair, requiring four specific parts to bring it back into commission. The parts can be anywhere on the Island, but beware: the Island is occupied by savage animals and dangerous guardians, with new threats emerging each time the sun goes down.

When Oro’s reign began in Chapter 2 Season 2, taking the throne with him was the equally-prosperous Orelia. Choosing to remain in the skeletal shadows until now, Orelia has emerged on the Island to augment their already-brimming treasury.
Rumors say Orelia doesn’t reside on the mainland — word has it that an ancient structure mysteriously rose from the ocean in the south, with a gleaming monarch offering help in exchange for a tribute of Bars. Word also has it that not everyone who’s sought her help has returned...

When the world (or rather, the Island) lost all control, Agent Jones knew exactly who to call. Favorably for the Island, DC’s Raven — founding member of the Teen Titans — is one of Chapter 2 Season 6’s Battle Pass warriors. But soon another Teen Titan is arriving on the Island, one who couldn’t resist the Season’s untamed nature.
Starting Thursday, May 13 at 8 PM ET, DC’s Beast Boy is putting his feet up in the Fortnite Item Shop, lounging alongside the Couch Titan Back Bling and BB’s Beast Bat Pickaxe.
Use Beast Boy’s built-in Go Ape Emote to transform into his Gorilla Form, perfect for roaming among the Island’s Wolves, Boars, and Raptors. (But no less dangerous!) Also, drop into battle in casual fashion with the Out...
