Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Bloomberg on Monday, reported Epic is developing an extraction shooter with Disney characters similar to Arc Raiders and targeting November 2026.
- Sources said internal reviewers flagged the design as not very original, though some developers expect to improve it before release.
- Following Disney’s concerns about the schedule, Bloomberg reported Epic reassigned staff from a third game to speed up this project.
- An Epic spokesperson said Bloomberg’s account does not reflect the collaboration’s ambitions and described plans for a new Disney games and entertainment universe.
- Epic recently cut more than 1,000 jobs after Fortnite engagement fell, raising execution and commercial risks for the reported slate.
