LEGO Fortnite\u2019s \u201ccensored\u201d Dead Game skin leaves community confused Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s Veronika skin dons a \u201cDead Game\u201d shirt that Epic \u201ccensored\u201d upon releasing it in the LEGO game mode. Epic unleashed the \u201cDead Game\u201d skin on Fortnite in 2022 with the launch of v21.50. Officially labeled as the Veronika skin, this particular look comes in the form of a woman wearing a forest green top that reads, \u201cDEAD GAME.\u201d The shirt allowed Epic to poke fun at those who flooded comment sections and forum pages with messages calling Fortnite \u201cdead.\u201d Evidently, Veronika\u2019s proven popular enough to make her way into LEGO Fortnite. It\u2019s not a one-to-one transition between worlds, though. As spotted by HYPEX, Veronika dons a different shirt in LEGO mode. Instead of the top\u2019s white letters spelling out \u201cDEAD GAME,\u201d they now form the words \u201cBEST GAME.\u201d (It\u2019s worth pointing out that Veronika\u2019s hair color has also changed between the two models.) Several people responding to the post have called the change adorable and fun. However, others are confused by the edit, joking that Epic must\u2019ve felt the need to spare kids from seeing the shirt\u2019s original wording. \u201cThe concept of death is too scary for children,\u201d reads one derisive reply. Without official word from the publisher, any guesses read as little more than speculation. But LEGO likely has a part to play; after all, while Fortnite is rated T for Teen by the ESRB, the rating board gave the LEGO mode a separate E10+ rating. Others have argued the so-called censorship may amount to something else entirely. \u201cIt\u2019s because LEGO is about positivity, and \u2018dead game\u2019 is viewed as a negative statement, so they made it positive instead: \u2018best game,’\u201d another person suggested. It remains to be seen if Epic Games will share an explanation of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
