Epic Games may be working on a brand new game in collaboration with Disney, and everything points to the fact that it won't be another mode in Fortnite, but rather a full-fledged, separate title. According to leaks, it is supposed to be an extraction shooter inspired by games like Arc Raiders, meaning gameplay focused on exploration, looting, and escaping the map from other players. Interestingly, the game is set to utilize Disney characters, creating a rather unusual combination of family-friendly style with a more hardcore genre.
Disney and extraction shooter is an unusual combination that can either be a hit or a big risk
The biggest mystery is the very idea of Disney characters in an extraction shooter game, which is something that has not yet been done on a large scale. On one hand, it offers huge marketing potential and the possibility of attracting a wide audience, while on the other hand, it raises questions about whether such a atmosphere will fit the more demanding and often brutal gameplay of this type. Additionally, there are voices suggesting that the gameplay itself may not be particularly innovative, meaning that the success of the game will largely depend on execution and the use of well-known characters.
ChooseTV is looking for a new hit after problems with Fortnite and wants to regain freshness in its projects
The project appears at a time when ChooseTV is going through a tougher period – layoffs and challenges in maintaining freshness in Fortnite show that the company is seeking new directions. CEO Tim Sweeney has clearly spoken about the need to deliver the "magic of Fortnite," which has been harder to maintain recently. The new game with Disney may be an attempt to create another major live service hit that will attract players for years and make the company less dependent on a single title.
If the leaks are confirmed, we will get one of the most unusual connections of recent years – Disney + extraction shooter. This could be a hit or a total experiment that doesn't work, but it will definitely be talked about.
