GoKawiilEpic Games adopts AI-first development for Disney shooter, delays project
Epic Games is reportedly restructuring its development process around AI models that write code and generate artwork, according to Bloomberg sources citing internal employee messages. The shift affects a $1.5 billion Marvel and Star Wars shooter being developed with Disney, originally planned for March 2027, which has now been delayed indefinitely. Epic says the change reflects 'AI-accelerated development' guided by human staff, while CEO Tim Sweeney described a broad internal reorganization to maximize AI use across teams.
