hey 4chan, long-winded piece of information here for y'all

for a couple of years now fortnite has been developing an ecosystem of games, including collabs with films, tv, games etc. so that they can become basically a network for all media

so far it's been inconistent as some of their plans like lego have had a fairly consistent playerbase while others (racing) have been severely underwhelming, even causing the devs to can it 'completely'

plans have been halted in certain departments, though fortnite still wants to be the be all end all of media and are still working on a variety of projects, most notably their bullshit disney hub, conveniently known as bulldog, currently slated to release in q2 2027, which is going great for them given only a couple of months ago they said it'd be q4 2026. basically, it's all a mess

i have a very valid source for my information on this information, and ill prove that in due time, but as of right now my intention is to come on here and drop a totally legal bombshell which cant be traced back to me anyways

the disney mode in my opinion is a glorified advertisement. in concept some of the ideas sound like a fun timekiller and maybe in several years time after its release it can be more than that, but the project is very clearly made to be expanded upon. upon release, they want to include tie-ins such as cosmetic rewards for attending disney parks, which you can use across all fortnite experiences, which is admittedly cool, but besides that the plan is to do a slow rollout of property based worlds filled with games, such as monsters inc, disney princesses and walle. adding on to that, many disney properties have been completely withdrawn, including very simple expansions of already existing properties such as pirates of the caribbean, purely so they can fuel the experience.
