Fortnite Has Some Pretty Jarring Differences in Its Chinese Version
✖
It might be easy to assume that video games are the same in all regions around the world, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the case of
Fortnite specifically, Epic Games’ mega-popular shooter is vastly different in China compared to the version that we are familiar with here in the United States.
For starters, many of the characters and skins that are available in
Fortnite have to be altered slightly due to China’s guidelines. In short, China doesn’t allow anything that could be deemed offensive to appear in video games which means Epic has to find some occasional workarounds. One such instance of this involves the use of skulls or skeletons, which are considered disrespectful in China. So in the case of certain character models, like the newly released Taskmaster skin, Epic has to alter the design so that it doesn’t resemble a skull.
