I was very excited when Epic Games announced Season OG.
On February 27, 2025, Epic Games unveiled a comprehensive anti-cheat update for Fortnite, marking a pivotal stride in bolstering the game's competitive integrity.
The fight dates back to August, when Epic added a direct payment mechanism to its hit battle royale game Fortnite in violation of Apple's rules.
In a bold and unconventional marketing move, Epic Games has introduced "Big Dill," a rapping pickle character, in Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 2, titled "Lawless."
