Damn, kingdom hearts is never coming to steam lol
Literally every Disney property in Fortnite events, incoming.
Duuno why. I get a free game off them every week, no investment needed!
Does Epic not trade its stocks?
If there’s one thing I know it’s that there are two entities you never want having a hand in your company. One is Tencent, the other is the Mouse.
You can lay off a shit ton of people and get rewarded with a billion+ investment. I love it here!
Mickey Mouse hitting the griddy in Fortnite let’s goooooooooooo
Could see this as Fortnite is becoming the natural successor to Disney Infinity
Fortnite skins for days
It would be fitting if they would revive Epic Mickey after this
Disney Epic Valley incoming
Goddammit, do they have to own *everything*
yuck
Dumbest comments I seen
Unreal is used a ton with Disney content .
So, at the current rate the EGS is losing money this buys them another 6 years or so.
I’m looking forward to videos of people getting emoted on by a 12 year old with a Moana skin.
I always wanted Toy Story collab
EA 2.0 incoming
Maybe they can make unreal engine more stable now. Lol
Hopefully, they can set aside a few pennies to resume development on Unreal Tournament.
Yeah some new Rocket League decals to spend money on. Maybe we can have stable and consistent servers?
Really looking forward to the ABC-ESPN-Marvel-Touchstone Pictures-Lucasfilm-A&E-History Channel-Lifetime-Pixar-Vice Media crossover I feel like that’s gonna be great and super organic just like we asked for
Everyone talking about gaming here is completely ignoring the obvious. They use Unreal to create half their shows/movies now. This is not about games at all.
Also it’s coming conveniently soon after Epic changed their policy to start charging companies that use Unreal and never release a game. Previously Disney could use Unreal for free since they never shipped a game and Unreal is royalty based on released games.
Epic Mickey was a prophecy??
According to the financial earnings call, this partnership will cultivate with the creation of a dedicated Disney World/Universe built within the world of Fortnite, so it could be a side mode alongside Fortnite Festival, Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing
What’s the ticker for epic?
Didn’t Epic just have massive layoffs?
No way in hell Kingdom Hearts coming to Steam now, with that Disney branding etched into it.
Yo let me play on my iPhone again 😂
They’ll literally do anything but make battlefront 3
OK
Epic haters are already crying and shitting themselves over this news.
Yup, epic is never making another unreal tournament
