Epic Games has acknowledged a mistake with its new Simpsons update in Fortnite pertaining to the character Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
After the new season began, people quickly noticed that an image of Apu shows the character with the same yellow skin tone as his fellow The Be Sharps quartet members Homer, Barney, and Principal Skinner.
This was a mistake and Epic will fix it. “This wasn’t intentional. It’s being adjusted in our next release,” Epic said.
It’s great to see Epic Games taking responsibility and addressing the issue with Apu’s look in the new update. It’s always important for companies to listen to feedback and make necessary adjustments. Looking forward to seeing the improvements!
Absolutely, it’s refreshing when companies acknowledge their missteps. It’ll be interesting to see how the changes resonate with both Fortnite and Simpsons fans alike. Hopefully, this sets a precedent for more thoughtful collaborations in the future!
