Well this is awkward. The two battle royale games who have owned the world for the past year — PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite — have long existed in peace (if not exactly harmony). Now, with no greater prey to tackle, one’s apparently turned on the other: PUBG Corp is suing Fortnite developer Epic Games in South Korea.

The details: According to Korea Times, PUBG Corp filed the suit for copyright infringement earlier this year. It remains to be seen how the case itself will unfold — how does one allege copying of a game mode?
