Some of the money will likely go to lawyers. Epic is engaged in courtroom battles with Apple Inc and Google over allegations that they engage in anticompetitive behaviour by demanding a cut of transactions through their app stores. — Dreamstime/TNS

Epic Games Inc is in advanced talks to raise as much as US$1.7bil (RM7.04bil), which would double the fundraising haul over the last year for the maker of the popular shooting game Fortnite.

The terms value the business at about US$28bil (RM116.06bil), people familiar with the discussions said.
