Players Will Finally Get More Information For the Highly Anticipated Fortnite Disney Mode at D23
In a new announcement post for D23, Disney confirmed that the showcase will feature “an exclusive preview of what’s coming next across Disney’s movies, television, games, and live stage productions.” According to a trusted source, DrewDisneyDude on X, this will include information on the Fortnite Disney mode before its potential launch in November. Additionally, this also lines up with the possible reveal of the Fortnite Kingdom Hearts collab at D23.
Ever since Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, players have been waiting for a concrete look at the Fortnite mode. The Disney mode, created by Epic Games, is said to feature an interconnected world filled with Disney characters within a social space.
Over the years, Fortnite has already successfully integrated major Disney properties like Star Wars and Marvel into its vast multiverse. This even includes more recent collaborations like the Fortnite Toy Story skins. However, this persistent collaboration will come to a head with the Fortnite Disney universe, which will introduce even more characters from Disney’s portfolio into the game.
As of now, what exactly will be revealed still remains unknown. However, since Epic has been working on this mode since February 2024, player expectations are definitely high. Additionally, Disney could also use this event to showcase their new extraction shooter title developed by Epic Games. However, this is purely speculation, and all will be revealed during the D23 event from August 14-16, 2026.
