Epic Games Mandates AI-First Development for Disney Shooter, Delays Release

Epic Games has instructed developers on its delayed Disney Marvel and Star Wars shooter to generate all code and artwork using artificial intelligence, with human supervision replacing traditional game development workflows. One project director told staff there would be "no more hand-written code" and that all artwork would be "generated with full AI workflows," according to reporting from industry outlets. The extraction-style shooter, originally scheduled for release in March, has been indefinitely delayed as the team transitions to this AI-accelerated development model.
