Fortnite Crossing over with massive brands and franchises is nothing new, but the Epic Games title takes its partnership with Disney even further. in the past, Fortnite featured properties owned by Disney, e.g Star Wars and Marvel, and it looks like this partnership will expand even further in the future.
Now this Super family is part of FortniteAs the list of crossovers continues to grow, more news has been revealed about the future of the game with Disney. According to Sax Persson, vice president of Epic Games, Disney and FortniteThe partnership is set to expand to a “permanent universe” as more of the company's characters enter the game. With Disney being so selective about which companies it partners with, this is great news for Epic Games, but there is also a big downside to this crossover. Due to Disney's restrictions on how some of its characters are portrayed, Fortnite will not be able to show individual characters using weapons.

Disney's Fortnite crossover means some characters can't use weapons
Asking questions about how this will affect gameplay
years later Fortnite turned into a diverse list of game options. From LEGO Fortnite to Fortnite Festival, Fortnite quickly became many games in one. However, the core of the title is still in the Battle Royale mode. Combat is a key mechanic in Fortniteand Disney regulations put a big wrench in how the game usually functions. In his recent statements, Persson said, “Not every garment will be able to do everything. The LEGO minifigure is not holding a gun. Brands should be able to follow the brand guidelines to the extent that they are comfortable being that brand. linked to certain ratings'.
The revelation sparked a backlash from many players online, with some expressing their desire to play as major Disney characters like Cinderella in Battle Royale. With Disney and Fortnitean ambitious partnership aimed at bringing a distinct Disney-centric experience to the game, this could mean that skin crossovers may only be available in this specific mode. Otherwise, a Disney character who is not allowed to own a weapon will be useless in a Battle Royale game.
At the beginning of the year, Disney invested $1.5 billion in Epic Games.
Creating skins specifically for non-combat modes seems like the only way this approach could make sense, but it's already proven controversial. It also raises a lot of questions about how Disney will decide which IPs and characters get gun privileges and which don't. for example Super family the crossover allows the respective characters to use weapons despite the films being rated PG. With iconic Disney villains Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent arriving, it will be interesting to see if the no-guns condition applies to G-rated characters.

Fortnite and Disney Bold Ventures could be a game changer
One of the biggest concerns about Disney's influence on Fortnite is that the game will start to lose its identity under the weight of the large number of incoming IPs. With the current season Fortnite focusing on Marvel's Doctor Doom, the presence of Disney-owned franchises is more prevalent than ever. While this is an exciting prospect for Disney fans, others are expressing concern Fortnite gets bloated with too much Disney content.

As more information becomes available about Fortnite and plans for Disney's Expanded Universe, it will become clearer how these specific weaponless characters will be implemented in the game. It could be the difference between PG and G ratings, or Disney could decide on a case-by-case basis. Some iconic characters may not be playable in Battle Royale, but Super family the crossover at least confirms that not every IP will be banned in combat.
