Disney (NYSE: DIS) is aiming to expand its position in the world of interactive entertainment. Sean Shoptaw, senior vice-president at the company's games and interactive experiences division, stated on Wednesday that the entertainment giant is interested in pursuing more licensing partnerships -- according to a report published by The Hollywood Reporter.
Hot on the heels of recent successes for games built around Disney-owned franchises, the company is hoping that it can help serve up additional hits by teaming with studios to adapt more of its intellectual properties (IPs). Shoptaw's presentation to game developers at the 2020 DICE Summit was an invitation to pitch new stories and reimaginings of the company's massive catalog of franchises, and it signaled a bigger push in the gaming space.
