Disney and Epic Games Partner to Create New Gaming Universe and Expand Reach of IP Library.

Disney and Epic Games have joined forces to create a new gaming and entertainment universe, with Disney investing $1.5 billion in Epic Games. This partnership will expand Disney's intellectual property into the gaming space, offering new distribution channels and leveraging virtual worlds to distribute content. The collaboration will feature content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, and more, and will be powered by Epic's Unreal Engine. This move marks a shift in how companies engage with their fans and could potentially prepare Epic Games for an IPO in the future.
