Disney Rules Out Epic Games Buyout, Focuses on Future Collaborations
Disney and Epic Games have been partners in creating an 'entertainment universe connected to Fortnite' since Disney's significant investment of $1.5 billion for a 9% equity stake in 2024.
The House of Mouse has brought big names into the Epic Games world, including The Incredibles, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Marvel theme tie-ins through Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom.
Disney's President & Chief Creative Officer Dana Walden clarified that a full buyout of Epic Games is not on the agenda, stating 'Those are not the conversations we're having right now.'
