Disney have had tried getting in to gaming multiple times but, after buying studios and releasing games, they always ended up closing the studios. They currently license out their properties to anyone who will pay them, Indy is with Xbox, Spider-Man and Wolverine are with Sony and there’s multiverse projects like Speedstorm, which features characters from many franchises.
Disney’s new big gamble is an “entertainment universe” created in partnership with Epic Games and “interoperating with Fortnite”. This sounds rather like the recently released LEGO games based off Fortnite.
“In addition to being a world-class games experience and interoperating with Fortnite, the new persistent universe will offer a multitude of opportunities for consumers to play, watch, shop and engage with content, characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and more,” explained Disney in a press release. “Players, gamers and fans will be able to create their own stories and experiences, express their fandom in a distinctly Disney way, and share content with each other in ways that they love. This will all be powered by Unreal Engine.”
“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.”
It looks like we are a couple of steps closer to the multiverse featured in Ready Player One, maybe you will be able to link your Disney multiverse account to Disney+ and watch a movie with your virtual chums. That said, if they want to engage with the younger generation there’s only one place this Epic/Disneyverse needs to be, and that’s on mobile phones. Fortnite is currently unavailable on apple devices due to ongoing legal battles.
