Fortnite is set to livestream Disney’s D23 fan event, showcasing the “Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase.” The stream will start at 8:30 p.m. PT/11:30 p.m. ET and will be hosted by Josh D’Amaro, along with some special guests. The event promises to reveal more about Disney’s partnership with Fortnite.
Back in February, Disney CEO Bob Iger made headlines by announcing a $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite. This investment marked Disney’s biggest venture into the world of gaming, with plans to create a Disney universe within the popular online platform. This universe would feature content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, and more, providing fans with various ways to interact with their favorite characters and stories.
Since the initial announcement, details about the project have been scarce. However, the recent news of the Fortnite livestream at D23 has generated a lot of excitement among fans.
During the livestream, Fortnite players will be able to access the event through the game’s new “Disney Horizons Live” island, starting at 7:30 p.m. PT/10:30 p.m. ET. By visiting the island for at least 10 minutes, players will receive a free in-game item called the Peelverine Plush Back Bling. Additionally, they will earn XP that can be redeemed in September. The Peelverine Plush Back Bling may also become available for purchase in the game’s shop at a later date.
After the livestream ends, Fortnite will continue to play the presentation on a loop until August 16, giving players ample time to catch up on any announcements they may have missed.
The collaboration between Disney and Fortnite has sparked a lot of interest and speculation within the gaming community. Fans are eagerly awaiting the livestream to learn more about what these two entertainment giants have in store for them. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments as Disney and Epic Games join forces to create a unique gaming experience for players around the world.
