Epic Games reportedly orders "AI-first" approach on delayed Disney game
Bloomberg reports that Epic Games has told developers on an unannounced, delayed Disney game to lean on AI tools for code and art.
Epic Games has reportedly told the team on an unannounced Disney game to use AI to produce code and art, according to a Bloomberg report as relayed by The Verge and Ars Technica. The game has slipped past its original March release window.
The Verge says developers on the project were given an "AI-first" mandate. They are to use tools such as Anthropic's Claude more heavily to finish the game.
Ars Technica describes the game as a delayed Marvel/Star Wars shooter. Its summary says the directive means "no more hand-written code" and no AI-free art. The Verge's excerpt does not mention Marvel or Star Wars.
Neither report, in the excerpts provided, includes a comment from Epic Games or Disney.
