Epic Games reportedly shifts Disney shooter to AI-first development

Ars Technica, citing Bloomberg’s reporting on internal Epic messages and unnamed sources, says Epic’s Disney collaboration is moving to AI-generated code and art assets, with developers managing and guiding the output. The Marvel- and Star Wars-themed shooter, previously slated for March 2027, is reportedly delayed indefinitely amid the AI shift, understaffing and slower-than-expected development. An Epic spokesperson described the approach as “AI-accelerated development” led by developers.
