Epic Games is all set to unveil a host of exciting updates at their upcoming appearance at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). The event will showcase the release of Unreal Engine 5.4, a highly anticipated update that is sure to delight game developers and enthusiasts alike. In addition to this, Epic Games is also expected to announce new titles and release dates during the event.
This event comes hot on the heels of Epic’s recent deal with media giant Disney, where Disney acquired a $1.5 billion stake in the gaming company. This collaboration is being hailed as Disney’s biggest venture into the gaming industry so far and is expected to result in the creation of a ‘huge Disney universe’ within Epic Games’ flagship title, Fortnite. The collaboration has generated a lot of buzz and excitement among gaming enthusiasts and Disney fans alike, and it will be interesting to see what further developments will emerge from this partnership in the future.
During Disney’s most recent earnings call, CEO Bob Iger announced that the company is developing a new persistent universe that would offer a world-class gaming experience and interoperability with ‘Fortnite’. According to further information provided by the company, this new universe would provide a plethora of opportunities for consumers to engage with their favorite content, characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Avatar’ and more. The universe would allow players, gamers and fans to create their own stories and experiences, and express their fandom in a distinctly Disney way. Additionally, it would enable them to share content with each other in ways that they love. In summary, the new persistent universe by Disney would be a remarkable platform for fans and gamers to immerse themselves in an expansive world filled with their favorite characters and stories.
