Disney to Launch Movie-Based MMORPGs

Disney told people at CES, in an article by Reuters, that they hope to launch more MMOs tied into their movies, such as the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean from Disney's VR Studios.

Disney, whose Mickey Mouse brand is a household name around the world, aims to reach a new generation of kids and young adults who are as likely to be clutching digital music players and watching online videos as sitting in front of the television.

"We plan to build more virtual worlds like "Pirates" based on a broad range of our properties," Iger told attendees of the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, referring to a Web game based on its "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
