Disney x Epic Games: No Fortnite Release Date Yet

BY JC Paredes • 2 years AGO • 2 MIN READ

Calling all Disney and Fortnite fans! We know that you’re excited, but take a minute to put down your pickaxes and wands. Let’s clarify that there is no set timeline for the release of any Fortnite updates or expansions with a Disney theme yet, despite the news of a Disney takeover.

Instead, it appears like Disney and Epic Games are working together on a larger, more ambitious project. As a team, they intend to develop a whole new “persistent universe” filled with interactive experiences, games, and entertainment. Consider it an independent platform rather than an extra Fortnite add-on.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • Epic Investment: Disney is committing a whopping $1.5 billion to Epic Games, confirming their long-term commitment to this collaboration.
  • Beyond Games: This universe won’t be solely focused on gaming. Anticipate an array of entertainment experiences, such as character interactions, narrative, and even a bit of shopping!

Disney and Epic Games have engaged hundreds of millions of players through Fortnite content integrations, season collaborations, in-game activations, and live events, including the Marvel Nexus War with Galactus, which drew more than 15.3 million concurrent players.

  • A Universe of Disney Magic: This new universe will be filled with well-known characters and tales from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more, ranging from Mickey Mouse to Darth Vader and Neytiri from Avatar.
  • Fan-Powered Fun: Players will be able to create their own stories, express their fandom, and share content within this universe.
  • Unreal Engine at the Core: Epic’s powerful Unreal Engine will be the backbone of this project, ensuring high-quality visuals and immersive experiences.

What It Means for Fans:

While we can’t experience Mickey Mouse building a lightsaber with Iron Man just yet, this announcement suggests exciting possibilities for the future.

We can expect more integration of Disney elements into various entertainment ventures powered by Epic Games, including potential future Fortnite content.

This news marks the beginning of a major partnership, not a specific Fortnite update. Buckle up, Disney and gaming fans, and stay tuned for further developments as this epic collaboration unfolds.

The future of entertainment could be truly magical, but for now, it’s best to wait for official announcements before grabbing your controller.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
