Disney takes a minority stake in Epic Games. The two groups will collaborate to develop a Disney gaming universe powered by Fortnite. Disney invests $1.5 billion in Epic Games to create a Fortnite universe with Star Wars

The Walt Disney Company announces that it is investing €1.5 billion in Epic Games. It takes the opportunity to discuss an ambitious project to port its flagship licenses to video games, notably through Fortnite and Unreal Engine.

  • Mashing Up Iconic IPs: Imagine Iron Man flying alongside Mickey Mouse, or exploring a Pixar world powered by Unreal Engine. Combining Disney's beloved characters and stories with Epic Games' expertise in immersive experiences opens up endless possibilities for unique and captivating games and entertainment for all ages.

  • Fortnite's Reach: Fortnite boasts a massive, active player base. This collaboration presents a chance to introduce Disney content to a huge audience in new and engaging ways. Think interactive storytelling, themed events, and social experiences driven by Fortnite's interactivity.

  • Building the Metaverse: The collaboration aims to create a persistent, open world "metaverse" connected to Fortnite. This virtual space, blending Disney and Epic's universes, will offer endless possibilities for players to socialize, explore, and create, blurring the lines between reality and entertainment.

  • Tech Powerhouse: Epic Games is an innovation leader in gaming, with cutting-edge tech like Unreal Engine. Disney gains access to these tools, allowing them to craft next-generation immersive and interactive experiences for their vast audience.

  • Business Synergy: Both companies share a vision for the future of entertainment. This collaboration allows them to combine their strengths and reach new markets, leveraging their loyal fans and expertise to create lucrative new opportunities.

  • Character Crossovers: Fortnite already successfully integrated Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar characters, generating tremendous popularity.

  • Exclusive In-Game Events: Disney-themed events in Fortnite garnered millions of participants, highlighting the potential for collaboration.

  • Licensed Games: Epic Games developed Disney titles like "Disney Infinity" and "Star Wars Battlefront," showcasing their collaborative potential.

Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Avatar in a Fortnite universe.

"The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games will collaborate on a brand new universe of games and entertainment," the statement said. For now, the two entities have not shared many details about this new universe, but the few pieces of information available suggest sandbox-type experiences.

"In addition to […] interacting with Fortnite, the new persistent universe will offer a multitude of opportunities for consumers to play, watch, shop and interact with content, characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and more," we learn.

Players could thus access a kind of huge virtual amusement park, and we understand that there will be gateways to other Disney services and products.

The DISNEY METAVERSE, seen and thought in the long term.

The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games announced on the 7th February 2024, that they will collaborate on a new gaming universe that will feature characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and Avatar. The new universe will be called "The Disney Metaverse" and it is expected to be released in 2024.

The Disney Metaverse will be a persistent universe, which means that it will be a constantly evolving and changing world. Players will be able to interact with characters and stories from all of Disney's franchises, and they will also be able to create their own content and experiences.

The Disney Metaverse will be powered by Unreal Engine, which is a game engine that is used by many other game developers. This means that the Disney Metaverse will be able to offer high-quality graphics and gameplay.

The Disney Metaverse is a sign of the growing importance of video games. The global video game market is worth an estimated $177.8 billion in 2022, and it is expected to grow to $203.1 billion by 2025.

It is also a sign of Disney's confidence in Epic Games. Fortnite is one of the most popular video games in the world, with over 350 million registered players. Epic Games is also the developer of Unreal Engine, a popular game engine that is used by many other game developers.

The collaboration between Disney and Epic Games is expected to create a new gaming universe that will appeal to fans of both Disney and Fortnite. It will be interesting to see what kind of games and entertainment experiences the two groups come up with.
