Epic Games and Disney are working together on multiple upcoming games as part of the mysterious Disney x Fortnite project, and now one of them has seemingly been revealed early–it’s probably not what you expect.

Bloomberg reported that the first new game to come from Disney’s $1.5 billion investment into Epic Games will launch in November and it will be a shooter along the lines of the popular extraction game Arc Raiders. Players will be able to suit up as a Disney character and duke it out until they reach an extraction point, sources told the site. According to the report, internal reviews for the project have assessed it to be “not very original” in its current form, but other staffers said they feel optimistic that it will be in better shape come launch.

Disney’s investment into Epic and Fortnite will span at least two more games, the sources added. An early version of the second game got “middling internal reviews,” sources said. The report went on to say budget for the third game was shifted to the first two projects because “Disney was disappointed by Epic’s release timeline.”
