Epic Games to use AI for code and art in Disney shooter

Epic Games is reportedly adopting an 'AI first' approach for its next collaborative shooter with Disney, using generative AI to create all code and art assets. According to internal communications described by Bloomberg, human developers will oversee and refine output from models such as Anthropic's Claude. The project, originally scheduled for release in 2027 and featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters, has been delayed indefinitely as Epic transitions workflows.

Why it mattersEpic Games' shift could signal a major trend toward generative AI tools in large-scale game development, potentially altering job roles and workflows in the gaming industry. The decision also affects a high-profile Disney partnership and delays a significant title.
