Fortnite developer Epic Games is reportedly working on a new extraction shooter featuring Disney characters that is set to launch later this year.<\/p>\n
A Bloomberg report states the currently unnamed spinoff is expected to launch November 2026. It, as well as the other two unnamed titles, is said to be the result of a $1.5 billion investment Disney made in the gaming giant back in 2024.<\/p>\n
According to the site\u2019s sources, the mystery extraction experience is said to be a shooting game not unlike Embark Studios\u2019 Arc Raiders, which launched to impressive player numbers and wound up a massive success for the developer late last year. Those familiar with the Disney game say some at Epic are optimistic the project will stick the landing at launch, though internal reviews have expressed concern about unoriginal game mechanics.<\/p>\n
Disney has had plenty of its characters crossover to the main Fortnite experience in the years since its investment was announced, with two recent examples seeing Buzz Lightyear and Emperor Zurg joining its enormous roster of skins. Last month, Epic gave players the ability to create their own experiences based on Star Wars. The game has also featured numerous crossovers with the Marvel universe in the past.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear which characters from Disney\u2019s wide catalog of IP it plans to let loose in a new extraction shooter from Epic. Further details on the two entertainment companies’ continued partnership are even murkier, as Bloomberg reports the plan is to eventually see at least a second and third game materialize in the future. There\u2019s no word on what shape each will take, as the site\u2019s sources paint a picture of average internal reviews for game number two, while resources for game three have been reallocated to the others.<\/p>\n
