Fortnite only allows you to play one OG map in Creative 2.0

With Chapter 4 Season 2, Fortnite has implemented a system long awaited by the community: Creative 2.0. Many players were now happy to be able to gamble on older maps from past chapters, but that is not the case. We’ll show you why.

What is Creative 2.0? In addition to its Battle Royale, Epic Games also has the creative mode. In this, creators can create different maps and modes that players can then gamble on. Creative 2.0 was supposed to be an upgrade of the creative mode that allows players to even create huge chapter maps.

Many players were looking forward to it, because with this system newcomers could also experience replicated versions of past chapter maps that can no longer be played in this way.

But when the system was released, disillusionment spread in the community. Epic Games has clarified what players can and can’t create – and that only includes their own ideas or the Chapter 1 map.

What is the reason? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney and Epic Games Executive Vice President Saxs Persson sat down with three well-known Fortnite streamers, Lachlan, SypherPK and Ali-A, to talk about Creative 2.0. The video we’re including for you is mostly about what creators can and can’t create.

For example, according to Tim Sweeney, content creators are not allowed to steal things from Call of Duty or other brands and then implement and commercialize them as a map in Fortnite. Also old maps from Chapter 2 and 3 cannot be built. This is due to collaborations that have taken place with Marvel and other brands in the past.

As a result, these maps also fall under copyright regulations. Epic Games entered into a cooperation with the brands at the time, but once the agreed deadline has expired, this content may not be reused.

However, Tim Sweeney emphasizes that creators are welcome to rebuild the Chapter 1 map to a certain extent. This was spared from the specified restrictions.

What is the community saying? Fans below the video of the interview are mostly unhappy with Epic Games’ decision. You don’t understand the rules. One could easily fix the copyright problem. User SkeleBob says:

  • “With that logic, people just couldn’t fit in the collab part of a season. Like in Chapter 2 Season 2. At first I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a Deadpool on the map, so someone could still do that, right?”

    • Basically, creators could just remove co-op locations and bosses and replace them with other Fortnite stuff. In theory there are no problems. However, user Simon Christopher Rule sees another reason why Epic Games limits players so much:

  • “They don’t want the BR player base to become more fragmented and distracted from the current season and storyline etc. […]”

    • With Build and No Build modes, as well as Fortnite’s creative and PvE sections, Epic Games offers plenty of ways to keep you busy. So it could well be that the developers don’t want to tear the community even further apart.

    What do you think of Epic Games’ decision? Do you think it’s a shame? Or are you not interested in the old maps at all? Let us know in the comments!
