Overview

• Felix “Fefe” Burgos registered his “Touching the Sky” choreography in 2024 and alleges the identical routine was released as an Icon Series Fortnite emote in February 2025.
• The lawsuit asserts Epic Games never sought Burgos’s permission or paid him for the emote, which players could purchase for 500 V-Bucks.
• Burgos is requesting a court injunction to halt further use of the emote and recovery of its sales revenues.
• The filing cites a November 2023 Ninth Circuit ruling that choreography must be evaluated holistically for copyright protection.
• This action follows earlier Fortnite emote disputes, including suits by rapper 2 Milly and choreographer Kyle Hanagami.
