There has been some pretty major drama surrounding the release of Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' developer Bluehole. Bluehole executive Chang Han Kim explained that Bluehole were "concerned" over the marketing of Fortnite Battle Royale.
Kim said: "We've had an ongoing relationship with Epic Games throughout PUBG's development as they are the creators of [Unreal Engine], the engine we licensed for the game. After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known".
He continued: "We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press. This was never discussed with us and we don't feel that it's right".
