Epic Games functions as a business in the interactive entertainment sector. Its relationship with the Star Wars property has occurred in several ways throughout the years. This includes the indirect use of their Unreal Engine in various interactive products. It also includes direct collaboration on their games Fortnite and Rocket League, the television program The Mandalorian, and Star Wars themed attractions at Disney Parks.
On February 7, 2024, it was made public that The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games were beginning a significant understanding. This agreement involves a 1.5 billion dollar investment in Epic Games equity shares, in conjunction with a prospective project under the Fortnite banner. The project aims to develop fresh games and an ongoing, groundbreaking, and unified entertainment world that connects Disney's owned franchises, including Star Wars.
