Disney has announced they are partnering with Epic Games to create a new gaming universe connected to Fortnite that brings together all of their franchises. They will also be investing $1.5 billion into Epic for an equity stake in the company.
“Our exciting new relationship with Epic Games will bring together Disney’s beloved brands and franchises with the hugely popular Fortnite in a transformational new games and entertainment universe,” said Robert A. Iger, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “This marks Disney’s biggest entry ever into the world of games and offers significant opportunities for growth and expansion. We can’t wait for fans to experience the Disney stories and worlds they love in groundbreaking new ways.”
Mods, feel free to move to the Video Games forum if desired. But I’m sharing here as I’m curious to know what people’s thoughts are on what impact this could have on KH. The statement also calls out Kingdom Hearts 3 when describing the history of Disney and Epic’s relationship.
Could we see Sora appear in Fortnite down the road? Could Disney’s partnership with Epic benefit SE when making KH games on Unreal Engine? Is Kingdom Hearts cancelled in favor of Kingdom Fortnite? Share your thoughts below.
