Hey folks! Brace yourselves for some exciting news! Disney and Fortnite are teaming up to create a gaming universe – a $1.5 billion investment from Disney. Let’s dive into what we know so far.
Disney’s $1.5 Billion – What’s the Goal?
Disney isn’t just throwing around dollars; they’re making a strategic move. This significant investment goes beyond mere financial backing; it’s a commitment to infuse the enchantment of Disney into the Fortnite experience. The goal? To integrate Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, and more.
And to make this gaming dream a reality, they’re bringing in the big guns – Unreal Engine. This powerhouse will not only elevate the gaming experience but also create an open world where Disney and Fortnite fans can come together. Imagine crafting your stories, expressing your fandom, and sharing content. That’s the promise of this epic collaboration.

In a surprising turn of events, Fortnite might be teaming up with none other than Mickey Mouse! A leaked hint from HYPEX suggested a potential collaboration between Fortnite and the iconic Disney character. Fans initially had their doubts, but it seems there’s some sense to the speculation.
Mickey Mouse’s copyright status (now in the public domain after 100 years) is a game-changer. This simply means that the iconic character will now be available for creative collaborations. Check out the video of HYPEX below.
