As reported by known Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR on X, with just how many different Disney characters and skins have been added into Fortnite over the years, Epic Games appears set to add a separate Disney-focused store where players can browse cosmetics from the likes of Star Wars; Marvel; Pixar and a whole bunch more.
While the store has yet to be officially detailed, images of the layout have leaked, and with Disney recently announcing around a dozen more of its characters coming to Fortnite during D23 (alongside an upcoming Marvel themed season), it’s safe to say having a separate store for Disney items does make sense.
The reason for Disney and Epic for going down this route is unclear, but it’s possible that due to the many collaborations between them, perhaps they wanted to make their skins more readily available. Many Disney skins, such as Darth Vader and the original Spider-Man, can’t be obtained anymore either because they were limited-time items or locked away behind previous battle passes.
Coincidentally, according to GameSpot, Fortnite is making a big change to its battle-pass structure. Starting with the upcoming Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass, items will not be exclusive to the season they belong to. Additionally, Disney pumped $1.5 billion into Fortnite back in February, which makes the revelation of a apparently separate store for Disney IP much more interesting.
