Disney and Epic Games to create new Fortnite universe

Disney is collaborating with Fortnite's owner, Epic Games, to create a new Disney-themed universe within the popular game. This partnership was announced over a year ago, and while a release date is not yet known, recent details were shared during a Disney shareholder meeting. At the meeting, Disney's CEO described this new project as an "entire Entertainment Universe" operating alongside Fortnite. Gamers will be able to play and create various Disney-themed games within this universe, resembling the features of the discontinued game Disney Infinity. This could allow players to showcase their creativity and build their own gameplay experiences. In addition to in-game features, Disney plans to offer both digital and physical merchandise related to the collaboration. Though it is unclear what these products will look like, the concept has generated excitement among fans. Reactions to the announcement have been mixed. Some gamers are thrilled about revisiting the open-world creativity of Disney Infinity, while others highlight that a customizable setting already exists in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This existing game focuses on rebuilding a valley and interacting with characters, offering a different experience than what is expected from this new Fortnite collaboration. The new Disney universe could potentially include characters from a variety of Disney properties, including Star Wars and Marvel. However, some players are simply hoping for Disney skins in existing Fortnite modes like Battle Royale. The exact details and features of this collaboration will unfold as Disney and Epic Games continue to work together.
