that the ‘Disney Collab’ planned for Fortnite had just moved into a “stable build/branch”.

While this doesn’t pinpoint exactly how long it’ll be before the new universe is released – there’s no set rule for when a development roadmap reaches the creation of the first stable build – it does suggest that development is continuing on the seemingly major collaboration.

In February 2024, Disney announced that it was investing $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games, and that as part of this the two companies would be partnering to create an “all-new games and entertainment universe” connected to Fortnite.

A teaser trailer for the new universe showed what appears to be a large world divided into smaller islands, each with a different theme based on various Disney properties.

This includes a central Disney Castle area leading out to separate islands, seemingly populated with attractions based on Wreck-it Ralph, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Monsters University, Iron Man, Star Wars, Disney Cruise Line and various other ESPN, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar and 20th Century Fox IPs.

Powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine and launching “soon(ish)”, according to the trailer, the new universe will let users create their own stories and experiences and share content with each other, according to Disney.

“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,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said last year.

“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 has collaborated with Epic numerous times in Fortnite since the game started featuring guest character ‘outfits’ (skins) in 2017.

Disney characters who have appeared as outfits in Fortnite have included Indiana Jones, Jack Skellington, Baymax, the Incredibles, Maleficent, Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil and a wide variety of Marvel and Star Wars characters.
