Epic Games reportedly moves Disney shooter to AI-generated code and art
Overview
Bloomberg reports that Epic Games is moving its Disney collaboration shooter to an "AI first" model, with AI such as Anthropic's Claude writing all code and generating all art while developers manage the output.
The report says the Marvel and Star Wars-themed game, previously slated for March 2027, is now delayed indefinitely amid an AI-related shakeup and slower-than-expected development so far.
Epic says it is embracing AI-accelerated development. CEO Tim Sweeney says the aim is to build more and better, not to do the same with fewer people.
