Disney’s big Fortnite project–whatever it might be–is still in the works and is said to be targeting a Fall 2026 release. That’s according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, which also claimed some Epic executives have complained about Disney’s reportedly slow sign-off and approval process. At the same time, the report said some Disney executives have expressed concerns about the project.
The report said Disney believes gaming can be a major revenue-driver for the company, which is why it invested $1.5 billion with Epic to make a Disney universe inside Fortnite. Disney’s Fortnite project is codenamed “Bulldog,” the report said.
It remains to be seen exactly what Disney’s plans are, but regarding the reported frustrations from Epic’s side, the report said Disney requires sign-off from “so many different divisions.”
