Epic Games delays Disney game and tells developers to go "AI first"
Epic Games has delayed its upcoming Disney collaboration shooter, which features Marvel and Star Wars characters, and has instructed developers to adopt an "AI first" production model. The game, originally slated for March, will now be built using AI tools, with directors stating "No more hand-written code" and all art generated via AI workflows. This shift has reportedly stunned some developers and comes after Epic's significant investment in Disney and a recent round of layoffs.
