'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 a new integration between the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride at Disney parks and the game Fortnite. This collaboration allows players to unlock in-game rewards in Fortnite by completing missions on the physical ride, marking a significant step towards a persistent, interoperable virtual universe promised by their partnership. The system uses Unreal Engine technology and aims to carry progress and story elements between the park experience and the game.
