Disney Explains Why Its Fortnite Deal Is So Important — “We Have To Adapt”
Epic Games is investing $1.5 billion into Epic Games to create what sounds like a Disney metaverse within Fortnite, and now one of Disney’s top bosses has shared a few more details on the company’s plans.
Disney boss Josh D’Amaro–who is among the candidates to become Disney’s new CEO after Bob Iger leaves–told The Hollywood Reporter that Disney is planning to work with Epic to create “a place where you can play games, a place where you can be social, a place where users can generate their own content.”
