The Walt Disney Company and Epic Gaming have partnered to center on a new universe for gaming and entertainment. It will expand new stories and experiences from Disney. The company is acquiring a stake in Epic Games with an investment of 15 billion dollars. This is a multi-year project with standard closing conditions.
Besides being a world-class gaming experience and interacting with Fortnite, this universe has something else to offer to gamers. Not only will they be able to play and interact with characters, but they will also be able to shop. We are discussing universes such as Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and Avatar. Players can create unique stories while doing so and share engaging content in the way they like it. The universe will be powered by Unreal Engine.
Robert A. Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, expects the new relationship with Epic Games to be excellent. The two companies combine Disney’s favorite franchises and brands with the hugely popular Fortnite game, resulting in a new entertainment universe. This will be Disney’s most significant marketing effort in the video gaming sector, and the company sees tremendous expansion and growth opportunities. It will also allow fans to see their favorite worlds differently.
Tim Sweeney, CEO and founder of Epic Games, noted Disney was one of the first companies to believe in the potential of combining their worlds with Fortnite. Collaboration involves working on something fundamentally new. The work should result in a persistent, open, and compatible ecosystem that will unite the Disney and Fortnite communities. Working together will allow users to interact with Disney in a new way.
Such alliances between two or more companies are not uncommon in gaming. Such cases often happen in the world of iGaming as well. For example, gambling providers BGaming and Playtech recently collaborated to offer over 3,000 unique titles. Playtech was founded in 1999, and BGaming is known for its popular game Plinko. Players can find here detailed information about Plinko’s rules and gameplay. There is also a selection of sites where you can play Plinko. After the merger with Playtech, this game is expected to become available even in countries where it was impossible to play it before.
