Epic Games has settled a court case against a contractor accused of leaking Fortnite information.

Former contractor Hayden Cohen has agreed to a judgment that bars them from “possessing, accessing, using, or disclosing any of Epic’s confidential or trade secret information”, including a ban on providing confidential information to other third parties, too.

Cohen was accused of leaking Fortnite collaborations ahead of time, including crossover events with Minecraft, South Park, Ben 10, Game of Thrones, and more.

While Epic’s lawsuit had sought damages covering “actual loss and unjust enrichment”, the proposed settlement did not detail monetary relief.

“We took legal action against the former contractor who repeatedly leaked confidential partner IP and trade secrets that they received while working with Epic,” Epic spokesperson Natalie Munoz confirmed to Game File.

“We’ve asked the court to approve the stipulated injunction to ensure they cannot publish or share Epic’s confidential information again.”

In other Epic news, last month, Epic unveiled how Rocket League looks running on Unreal Engine 6.

“New era, new engine,” some on-screen text exclaimed, before whizzing through a series of sleek car visuals to wrap up the “in game” bit of proceedings. And after that? A glimpse at the Unreal Engine 6 logo, as well as a brief animation slotting Rocket League in with Epic’s other projects, from Fortnite to its multi-year $1.5bn partnership with Disney – the latter reportedly including an Arc-Raiders-like Star Wars shooter.
