And even if you're a smaller independent studio, and would like to bring mod support to your players beyond the boundaries of the Steam workshop, at no extra cost.

Disney taking $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games is the biggest business news of 2024 so far, wow! Another blockbuster deal from Bob Iger. Welcome to the next generation of cross-platform experiences! Smart move from Disney here and GGWP Epic Games. This certainly signals their interest in expanding further into the gaming market (hopefully they won't exit too quickly this time) but more importantly give them access to new technologies and expertise in areas such as game development and virtual production, which could be leveraged across their various entertainment properties. With such an investment, this will certainly lead to bigger integration of Disney's IP into Epic's games and who knows, that could be a strong boost to bring Fortnite into traditional entertainment (imagine a Fortnite/Rocket League Zone at Disnelyland!). #disney #epic #gaming #entertainment #synergy #metaverse #Disneyfandome

The Metaverse is very far from being dead. That is no thanks to Meta and Mr Zuckerberg in overhyping and under delivering on related developments. It’s great to see that the real work continues, and that major brands understand its relevance and future value. In parallel, it’s also interesting that associations in the experiential space state otherwise. The monetized virtual experience for the masses and luxury pricing for real life experiences that I speak about (and people passionately disagree with) is continuing to develop and accelerate. Game engines are the operating system of the future.

This looks very exciting ... and could open up a whole lot more opportunity for UNREAL artists for sure. Disney is investing $1.5 billion for an equity stake in Fortnite and Unreal Engine maker Epic Games as part of a broader partnership to create a new Disney gaming universe. The companies plan to create an expansive and open games and entertainment universe. I would say they’re building a metaverse, if the word weren’t so overused late and out of favor with some. (They didn’t actually use that word). Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, announced the investment in an interview with CNBC today. The companies will collaborate on a new games and entertainment universe that will further expand the reach of beloved Disney stories and experiences. It will be a multi-year project, built by Epic Games. Full article here: https://lnkd.in/eyS4pNwJ #unrealengine5 #disney #epicgames

https://lnkd.in/eFhknCGc Disney and Epic Games announced a new partnership yesterday, as Disney invested $1.5bn in Epic to take a minority shareholding. Epic founder Tim Sweeney said they will work together to "build a persistent, open and interoperable ecosystem that will bring together the Disney and Fortnite communities." The move appears to make a huge amount of sense to both companies, with Disney trying to secure a foothold in the gaming space (6 years after the demise of Disney Infinity) and Epic looking to boost Fortnite's appeal even further. Whether Disney can make a meaningful impact on the gaming space beyond skin gimmicks and nostalgia-mining remains to be seen, but if there's one thing they have a track record in, it is building a universe. Disney x Fortnite has the potential to be a particularly potent partnership. #CMSGaming #cmslaw #epicgames #Disney
