'A first step, not a finish line' — Disney and Epic Games have connected Disney World’s and Disneyland’s Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run to a brand-new Star Wars adventure in Fortnite

Disney and Epic Games have launched their first tangible cross-platform integration, tying the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction at Disney parks directly into Fortnite through a new Star Wars experience. The collaboration represents the companies' initial effort to bridge physical theme park attractions with digital gaming environments, creating a unified experience that extends beyond traditional boundaries between the two mediums.

This activation marks a significant step in how major entertainment properties approach fan engagement across platforms. Rather than treating the park ride and game as separate experiences, the companies are establishing foundations for deeper integration between Disney's physical spaces and Epic's digital ecosystem. The partnership suggests both companies view this as an opening move rather than a complete vision.
