Epic Games makes peace with ex-Fortnite insider as huge leak lawsuit comes to an end

After uncovering former Epic Games contractor Hayden Cohen as a Fortnite leaker, the gaming giant has put its ongoing lawsuit to bed. The high-profile case, which began in March, emerged when Epic learned that Cohen had been breaching NDAs surrounding upcoming content. From new skins to in-game events, Cohen had previously signed documentation in September 2025 that forbade him from talking about unannounced aspects of the massive battle royale.
