During the upcoming D23 fan event scheduled for August 10, 2024, Disney is set to disclose more information regarding its partnership with Epic Games and Fortnite. The collaboration, which began in early 2024 with Disney’s USD $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, aims to create a groundbreaking gaming and entertainment universe tied to Fortnite in some capacity.
While the initial phase of this collaboration resulted in crossover skins in Fortnite, both Disney and Epic Games have hinted at more significant projects in the works. Fans can expect exclusive teasers and announcements during the D23 event. Disney’s confirmation of special Fortnite x Disney content being showcased live further fuels the excitement surrounding the event.
Starting at 7:30 pm PT | 10:30 pm ET on August 10, eager fans can immerse themselves in the D23 experience by visiting the official D23 Island in Fortnite. Disney Horizons Live will broadcast never-before-seen content from the realms of Fortnite and Disney exclusively within the game. The main show will begin at 8:30 pm PT | 11:30 pm ET, allowing players to witness in-game reveals firsthand.
Players can access the D23 Island through the Fortnite Homebar or by using the island code: 7908-6413-2516. Even if you miss the live presentation, all major reveals will be available on-loop on D23 Island until August 16, 2024. However, attending the live event has its perks, as viewers who remain on the island for at least 10 minutes will receive a special Peelverine Plush Back Bling and XP. Peelverine is a fusion of Peely, Fortnite’s mascot, and Wolverine, donning a unique costume.
