Epic Games Sues Former Contractor Over Fortnite Leaks

[mendez]

Epic Games has filed a lawsuit against a former contractor accused of leaking confidential information about upcoming Fortnite collaborations. The complaint, filed in North Carolina federal court, identifies the alleged leaker behind the accounts AdiraFN and AdiraFNInfo as Hayden Cohen.

According to Epic, Cohen used his insider access while working as an associate producer to reveal unannounced crossovers—including partnerships with South Park and Solo Leveling—before their official announcements. The company claims the leaks violated a non-disclosure agreement and harmed relationships with collaboration partners, and it is seeking damages and a court order to prevent further disclosures.
