Fortnite Loop Control Map Looks A Lot Like Among Us Map

[Animous]

Fortnite has managed to stay in the hearts of its fans through constant updates and crossover events that have kept people coming back for more content. Now, through Epic Games' new game mode, it seems the company might have created a new case of plagiarism within the video game industry by copying from the developers over at InnerSloth.

The newest update involves a new Imposters mode in Fortnite, where gamers will be put into a hidden role-type game. Inside the facility, the players will play as the Agents working for the Imagined Order, or as the Imposters secretly try to overrun the compound.

There have already been many points made about how the new game mode has striking similarities to how matches are played in Among Us, such as when agents do tasks and have discussions about voting other people out. However, a developer over at InnerSloth named Gary Porter pointed out a side-by-side comparison on Twitter to the Fortnite Loop Control map and The Skled Map in Among Us and shows how similar they are.

In the picture, while it is not a complete rip-off from the original map, most of the layout of the rooms are in similar places in the Skled map. On top of that, the hallways interconnecting these rooms have similar pathways to how they are on the Skled. Porter points out in another tweet that some of the only differences being that Epic Games flipped the placement of electrical and medbay and connected the security room to the cafeteria.

Some other users replied to Porter's tweet, stating that there aren't actually any similarities to the maps, and the Loop Control map in Fortnite does not take place in a spaceship. In response to this, another user came to Porter's defense and added colorful lines marking all the different rooms and how they connect to each other. In their tweet, they state that while the similarities might not be obvious at first, there is no way that the original map didn't have any influence on Epic Games' design choice.

Porter emphasizes that while he wasn't working at the company at the time during the development of the Skled map, he is still offended on behalf of his co-workers who were present at the time. It will be interesting to see how Epic Games responds to the points made and if it will face any backlash from it. Hopefully, Epic Games can resolve the concerns and make peace with InnerSloth.

Fortnite is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
