The project stems from Disney's $1.5 billion investment in Epic made in 2024. Sources describe it as similar to Arc Raiders, with players using Disney characters to reach extraction points. Internal reviewers have raised concerns about originality, though some Epic staff believe issues will be resolved before launch. The news comes amid broader struggles for Epic, including over 1,000 layoffs and declining Fortnite engagement. The Disney collaboration is said to involve three titles total, with resources from the third being shifted to the extraction shooter after Disney raised timeline concerns. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
