Poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, says it is reviewing its planned Fortnite collaboration after Epic’s recent announcements about using generative AI in its development workflow. According to multiple reports, Epic publicly showcases how it applies generative AI to create and refine Fortnite assets, ranging from early concept art to in-game environmental models. In response, Poncle indicates it is less enthusiastic than it was and may reconsider moving forward with the collaboration. The reports describe Poncle’s stance as cautious, tying its reconsideration to how Epic presents and uses the technology, rather than to any specific, newly negotiated terms of the partnership. While details of the collaboration’s status beyond “reviewing” are not confirmed across the coverage, all outlets characterize the situation as Poncle reassessing the deal in light of Epic’s generative AI messaging. The collaboration outcome remains unclear, but the studio’s reaction centers on concerns about Epic’s approach and how it is being used to produce Fortnite content.
