Epic Games and a former contractor accused of leaking Fortnite collaboration plans have agreed to a proposed court judgment and injunction, according to Game File, which cited federal court filings it reviewed and confirmation from an Epic spokesperson.

The settlement has not been finalized yet. It still needs approval from a federal judge in North Carolina, and the proposed deal does not mention monetary relief, even though Epic's lawsuit had sought damages for alleged actual loss and unjust enrichment.

The case centered on Hayden Cohen, a former Epic contractor who was accused of sharing confidential Fortnite information tied to collaborations with Minecraft, Peak, South Park and other partners. When the lawsuit surfaced earlier this year, Game Developer reported that Epic alleged Cohen had leaked details while behind the AdiraFNInfo account.

Under the proposed settlement, Epic and Cohen have agreed to a judgment against Cohen and an injunction barring him from “possessing, accessing, using, or disclosing any of Epic’s confidential or trade secret information” or helping anyone else do so.

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

Munoz did not add more when asked about Epic's request for a monetary award. Cohen did not respond to Game File's request for comment.

For Fortnite players, the story is less about one specific cosmetic drop and more about how seriously Epic treats unrevealed crossover plans. Fortnite collaborations are a core part of the game’s calendar, with leaks often spreading before official reveals. Recent rumors have covered everything from Rambo crossover claims to returning superhero items, but this case involved Epic accusing a former worker of leaking confidential partner material from inside the company.

Game File also noted that Law360 first reported the settlement earlier this week. Until the judge signs off, the case is at the proposed-settlement stage, not a fully approved final order.
