Epic Games has been known for their tremendous work with Fortnite over the years bringing in the most iconic collaborations for a video game ever. Today it was announced that the Walt Disney Company has partnered with Epic Games on an all-new games and entertainment universe. Along with that, Disney will invest $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games alongside the multiyear project.

This collaboration will offer multiple opportunities for consumers to play, watch, shop, and engage with content, characters, and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, and a lot more. All of the content created through this partnership will be powered by Unreal Engine, Disney confirms.

“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.”

“Disney was one of the first companies to believe in the potential of bringing their worlds together with ours in Fortnite, and they use Unreal Engine across their portfolio,” said Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder, Epic Games. “Now we’re collaborating on something entirely new to build a persistent, open and interoperable ecosystem that will bring together the Disney and Fortnite communities.”

This may not come as a huge surprise for some since one of the first major crossovers was with Marvel bringing the iconic superheroes to Fortnite.
