    Gawrsh, Epic might be making a Disney-themed extraction shooter.

    That’s according to a new report from Bloomberg, which delves into just how important the Disney deal is for Epic, especially given the current state of Fortnite. The extraction shooter is described as the first release to come out of the partnership, and it’s expected to launch in November.

    The space-faring sim turns 10 this year, and it’s getting one of its strangest updates yet. Called Xeno Arena, the new addition lets players collect, train, and battle alien creatures, Pokémon-style. It even has multiplayer. Maybe it’s time I bring back my travel diary.
