PUBG finally sues Fortnite, claims they are too similar

Fortnite is still the more popular game, though

Regardless of whether you prefer PUBG or Fortnite, you can’t dispute that both use almost-identical game mechanics. Since Fortnite’s entry into the battle royale scene, the feud between the two has spilled over into sales brackets and legal disputes. Now, Bluehole is taking a huge step to one-up Epic Game’s popular BR shooter.

In South Korea, PUBG’s developers have filed copyright infringement suits against Fortnite’s Epic Games. The case argues that Fortnite directly copied gameplay elements from PUBG.

When it first launched, Fortnite was only a co-op survival game that pitted players against zombies. However, PUBG’s popularity last year prompted Epic Games to launch their own version of the battle royale game. Inevitably, their uncanny resemblance drew arguments over whether Fortnite just plagiarized PUBG.

Despite their legal gripes, PUBG fell by the wayside. Fortnite quickly rose in popularity. Currently, the quirky BR game has already topped sales charts, amassing an average of US$ 1 million per day on mobile.

Now, PUBG has grown bolder in their cries for foul. Just last month, the developers have sued NetEase, creators of the similarly popular Rules of Survival. While that case remains unresolved, PUBG’s desires are crystal clear — absolute removal of their competition’s every iteration.

Regardless of their claims, PUBG did not pioneer the battle royale genre. Prior to PUBG, the genre already enjoyed moderate success with H1Z1 and The Culling. Even now, the genre is spawning more variations including the newer gameshow-themed Radical Heights.

With this in mind, it becomes increasingly unlikely that PUBG’s notions will affect Fortnite’s operations greatly. For one, the two are already distinctly separate since Fortnite relies heavily on building.

On another note, PUBG also uses the Unreal Engine, which was developed by Epic Games. It’s even unlikelier that PUBG will sever ties with the engine that keeps them running.

If anything, PUBG’s latest cries for justice pushes the game back into the center of discussion. At the very least, it might eliminate the smaller PUBG clones rampant today.
