According to the company's official , while Epic Games will indeed be folding Bandcamp into its portfolio, Bandcamp wil෴l continue as its own entity post-acquisition. 

detailed the company's stance on the matter, stating Bandcamp would play "an important role in Epic's vision to build out a creator marketplace ecosysetm for content, technology, games, art, music, and more." With that in mind, Bandcamp is set to continue operating as a "standalone marketplace and music community" while leaning on Epic Games' resources to expand and add new features. 

On the artist side, Bandcamp CEO Ethan Diamond of his own to quell fears that the platform's core services would be changing. He c🅺onfirmed that they "aren't going anywhere," assuring users that instead the team will "continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model." 

“You’ll still♕ have the same control over 💝how you offer your music, Bandcamp Fridays will continue as planned, and the Daily will keep highlighting the diverse, amazing music on the site,” Diamond claimed.

In return, Epic Games receives the opportunity to further expand its role in the music space. Fortnite, easily Epic G♓ames' biggest title, has been dabbling in additional musical elements for some now. With Bandcamp under its wing, we'll likely be seeing a logical evolution of that push soon enough.
