Recently, a few Fortnite players were experimenting with the popular game’s building ability and were shocked to find that the game displayed a swastika in the middle of their creation.
Reddit user EuBestCityEu was apparently gathering metal resources to lay down a floor for a structure. The user then modified the shape of the flooring to better fit their project. According to EuBestCityEu, the floors formed an apparent swastika symbol between the metal sheet flooring. The Reddit user directed a post at the Fortnite developers asking for an explanation.
“This was unintended and will be addressed ASAP by adjusting the metal piece art,” said Epic Games, developer of Fortnite. The studio confirmed to The Verge that it is getting rid of the offensive symbol so it does not appear when other players replicate this shape in-game.
