Fortnite disables peacemaker performances after the TV series Bombshell, Epic Games is now in touch with James Gunn's DC to “ask our partner's creative intentions”

Fortnite Working with James Gunn and John Cena's DCU, quickly disabled the game's peaceful hip expression Peaceful The TV series took a bombshell twist at the end of the show’s latest episode.

warn! Spoilers for Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6.

When Peacemaker's latest episode revealed that the show's alternative “Earth-2” environment was actually “Earth-X”, a fascist Nazi world, fans were stunned when the American flag featured swastika.

Now, many fans say the Peacemakers have cleverly pointed out the twist throughout the season, as Cena's dance in the show's opening honors included arm movements suggesting swastika – the same dance moves were seen in the Peaceful hip expression.

But none of these seem to be ahead of the last episode airing – from a statement released by Fortnite Maker Epic Games over the weekend, the developers were equally surprised to find that it looks like the true meaning of the emoticons it now has in the game.

“We are disabling the peaceful hip expression in Fortnite when we ask our partners about their creative intentions in this collaboration. Write On its Fortnite Status social media account. “Assuming it doesn't come back, we will issue a refund in the next few days. Sorry.”

Epic Games' statement doesn't sound like the expression left in Fortnite isn't positive, but even more remarkable, the advice of the developers who worked closely with DC Studios on collaboration is to discover the real nature of the dance with the audience, and are now fighting for explanation.

Fans have begun to worry about what any potential split could mean for the future of DC's popular collaboration in Fortnite and whether the two companies will continue to work together. IGN has contacted Epic Games for comment.

Overall, fans’ reactions to the pulled expressions are mixed, with some acknowledging the potential of being called “Nazi expressions” and then being mistaken for someone else by players. However, others questioned why Epic Games took action here, but in other similar situations, they did not.

Fortnite, for example, recently added Tylil Dance through Tylil Dance, which teamed up with rapper Kai Cenat, featuring Kanye West’s music. West now calls himself Ye, having previously made numerous comments, considered anti-Semitic and said in 2022 that he was identified as “Nazi”.

In another example, Fortnite obviously avoids reselling the game's skin, Rue, whose costume players are widely compared to the design of Nazi uniforms. The skin is still in the game, although now one of Fortnite’s rarest products, as Epic Games chose not to sell it for five years.
