Disney Builds Metaverse Hub Inside Fortnite

⊲ The Verge ⊳ Disney’s new Disneyland Game Rush inside Fortnite hints at the early steps of its $1.5 billion metaverse vision or a “persistent universe” with Epic Games. The island, a rotating set of seven minigames including Indiana Jones: Tomb Runner, themed on park attractions, offers a self-contained, family-friendly space within Fortnite. Though simpler than other virtual offerings, it connects Disney branding to Epic’s user-made ecosystems. The approach foreshadows a persistent virtual hub where Disney controls the experience, while remaining embedded in Fortnite’s infrastructure.
