Disney's Massive Investment
Disney has made a significant move in the gaming industry by investing a whopping $1.5 billion in Fortnite. This collaboration between Disney and Epic Games marks Disney's biggest entry into the world of games, offering exciting opportunities for growth and expansion.
The Disney x Epic Games Crossover
The investment allows Disney to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games, paving the way for the creation of a "games and entertainment universe" within Fortnite. This collaboration aims to bring together Disney's beloved brands and franchises with the immensely popular Fortnite game.
Creating New Experiences
Disney CEO Bob Iger expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that fans can look forward to experiencing Disney stories and worlds in groundbreaking new ways. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney added that the companies are working towards building a persistent, open, and interoperable ecosystem with Disney content in Fortnite.
Fortnite Ownership
While Disney's investment is significant, it does not mean that Disney has bought Fortnite. Epic Games still retains ownership of the game and all its rights. However, the collaboration suggests that Disney will be working on creating new modes within Fortnite, adding to the game's already diverse offerings.
What's Next?
Although the specifics of the collaboration are yet to be unveiled, with Disney's investment, fans can expect exciting developments in the world of Fortnite. Disney's expertise in creating immersive experiences combined with Fortnite's massive player base is sure to result in a unique and captivating gaming experience.
As of now, no release date has been announced for this "entertainment universe," but fans can keep an eye out for updates. In the meantime, Fortnite enthusiasts can also enjoy the TMNT x Fortnite crossover, which adds even more excitement to the game.
