Additional Notes

It doesn’t just show for me, anyone following cant see it either as its only visible on web.
It says it appears in Fortnite yet it doesn’t.
Furthermore, when I press Edit after making the announcement the post unchecks that box. Clicking it again and pressing post doesn’t change anything though.

Furthermore, my New releases aren’t showing in the Creator Portal - this may be linked.

It could be also, very much likely, hinder discover visibility

Tested the Announcement with another map and it worked!!

1135-2630-7815 Can someone please look into why it doesn’t work for this map or inform me if im doing something wrong

I also had this happen, I wonder if this is related but I see your island where it didn’t work was an IP island (TWDU) the other island where this happened was a squid game Island maybe Announcements can’t show in IP islands? or maybe it’s just a coincidence

[kryten]

was also looking at other Island that were IPs, didn’t read anywhere that they weren’t allowed to have announcements

Hi @kryten you can find information about IP usage in the Communities Guidelines: Fortnite Communities

Here’s another instance of this bug happening from a friend of mine. (this announcement was made around the release of communities)

Announcement shows just fine on the Island Details page

However it does NOT show inside the fortnite lobby

Despite creator portal stating that the announcement should be visible in the lobby

[kryten]

This is exactly what I am experiencing!
Thanks for laying it out in a better way that I did
