Disney responded to speculation regarding a potential full acquisition of Fortnite developer Epic Games following recent rumors.
Disney president and chief creative officer Dana Walden addressed the partnership during a Bloomberg Live interview, stating that a complete buyout strategy is not currently being considered by the company.
Walden noted that while serious discussions previously occurred regarding an investment and equity stake, those specific conversations are not happening right now, though a great partnership remains in place.
The existing collaboration was cemented when Disney secured an equity stake in Epic, which leaders previously described as the company's largest entry into the gaming world.
Walden highlighted that upcoming launches over the next two years will showcase the value of the ongoing partnership despite the lack of current acquisition talks.
