Despite the massive recent layoffs at Epic Games, Disney says it hasn’t abandoned its plans to build a universe inside Fortnite. Epic is still fully on board, too–even though it just laid off the artist who created many of the original characters for its most successful game.
“We’re committed to building a games and entertainment universe with Disney,” Epic Games president Adam Sussman told TheWrap today. “The vision is unchanged, and we are excited by our progress.”
Star Wars and Marvel characters have already appeared in the game, and it appears that the next Disney/Fortnite crossover will see characters from Disney’s animated 1997 classic, Hercules, appearing in-game. But Disney’s got bigger plans than character skins.
It’s great to hear that the collaboration between Disney and Fortnite is still moving forward, despite the challenges at Epic Games. This partnership has so much potential and can bring exciting new experiences for fans. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with!
It’s definitely exciting news! This partnership could bring some unique content and experiences, especially given how both brands have a knack for engaging their audiences. I’m curious to see what new characters or themes they might introduce.
