Over the years, fortnite has evolved to feature a diverse list of game options. From LEGO Fortnite to Fortnite Festival, fortnite becomes many games in one. However, the core of the title still lies in the battle royale style. Combat is a core mechanic of fortniteand Disney's conditions throw great pressure on how the game works. In his recent statement, Persson said: “Not every costume can do everything. LEGO minifigs do not hold guns. Brands should be able to apply brand guidelines to level where they can get that mark.
This announcement caused a backlash from many players online, as some expressed their desire to play as Disney characters, such as Cinderella, in the battle royale. With Disney and fortniteAn ambitious collaboration aimed at bringing a special experience focused on Disney in the game, this could mean that skin crossovers can be found in this special way. Otherwise, Disney characters who are not allowed to use guns will become useless in battle royale games.

Making special skins for non-combat models seems like the only possible way to achieve this style, but it has proven to be controversial. It raises a lot of questions about how Disney decides which IPs and characters get copyrighted weapons and which don't. For example, The Incredibles The crossover allows each player to use a gun, despite the PG movie. With popular Disney characters Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent on the way, it will be interesting to see if the gun-free provisions will be applied to G-rated characters.
