Disney president and CCO Dana Walden has dismissed rumours of an Epic Games buyout, saying "those are not the conversations we are having right now." She said the two companies remain focused on upcoming launches to demonstrate the value of their partnership, following Disney's $1.5 billion equity investment in Epic in 2024. Recent collaboration promoted The Mandalorian and Grogu with a new Fortnite island, Smugglers Gambit, tied to the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run ride at Disneyland.
