Insider Drew Smith says the new Smugglers Run mission with The Mandalorian and Grogu will connect Disney parks with Fortnite using Unreal Engine. After months of teasing, Disney's Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will receive a major update in 2026 and could connect to the ongoing events in Fortnite. According to insider Drew Smith, the new mission will feature The Mandalorian and Grogu, giving guests a fresh adventure inside the Star Wars universe.

While the collaboration between Disney and Epic is official, Smith reports that the connection between the upcoming Disney x Fortnite universe will create "seamless, cross-platform storytelling" between parks, games, and other entertainment. However, Disney and Epic have not yet made a public statement confirming how this connection will work. Earlier reports and leaks have hinted that Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games is funding a large-scale online world where progress from park attractions could influence gameplay in Fortnite. For example, guests who complete the new Smugglers Run mission might earn in-game rewards or status in the Disney x Fortnite experience--but this has not yet been officially detailed. Still, Disney executives have stated that the company's future lies in connecting movies, games, and attractions into one shared digital ecosystem. The upcoming Smugglers Run update may be the first clear step in that direction, combining storytelling, gaming technology, and theme park interactivity in ways that blur the line between real and virtual worlds.
