One year ago, Disney invested $1.5 billion into Epic Games to create a massive Disney x Fortnite experience that has yet to come to fruition. But at South by Southwest, one of Disney's Imagineers teased the way that this online experience may be able to play off of a guest's trip to a Disney theme park.
During the Disney parks panel at SXSW, Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama--who oversees interactive experiences at Disney theme parks--used a ride in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge as an example of how the real-life trip at the theme park can affect the Disney x Fortnite game for visitors.
"Imagine... what if you could go to the park and have an experience in Smuggler's Run [and] go on this amazing mission, but then have that affect or connect your gameplay at home," said Kalama.
