Epic Games reportedly delays Disney shooter and shifts to ‘AI first’ production

Bloomberg reports Epic delayed its Disney collaboration, a shooter featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters, from a planned March release, with no new date communicated. People familiar with the project said developers were told to use an “AI first” production model, including tools such as Claude. An internal message reviewed by Bloomberg said “no more hand-written code” and called for all art to be “generated with full AI workflows.” Epic said its developers would lead the AI-accelerated work.
