Fortnite Meets Disney: What’s Going On with Disney’s Big Project?

It’s been a whole year since Disney’s massive project with Fortnite was first announced. We’re yet to see much progress, but recent updates indicate that the partnership has reached an important milestone.

Fortnite’s reputable insider HYPEX, took to social media to announce that the collaboration has moved onto the “stable” build, indicating significant developments have taken place. This “stable” label usually means a build is refined, tested, and ready to enter the final stages of development. So, what does it mean for this Disney-Fortnite project? The answer lies in the silence, as only Disney knows for sure.

Since its announcement, the Disney-led partnership has silently advanced, only sparking curiosity with every passing update. Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro highlighted their plans, which involve transforming the platform to host various formats like games, social hubs, and user-generated content. To make this idea come to life, Disney’s sunk over $1.5 billion into Epic Games to create said content.

However, the idea behind this fusion of Disney charm and Fortnite versatility is still foggy. Rumors suggest there’s a prospect for a new gaming universe filled with Disney/Pixar stories. Characters, from Marvel superheroes to Star Wars figures, Pixar classics, Avatar heroes, and beyond, can come to the table. Yet, no one’s certain, leaving fans patiently awaiting the dawn of this hybrid entertainment world.
