AI-generated briefing · First published

Epic Games is moving to an AI-first model for its Disney collaboration, delaying the Marvel- and Star Wars-themed shooter indefinitely.

Epic Games is adopting an "AI first" strategy for its $1.5 billion collaboration with Disney, directing AI models to write all code and generate all artwork for an upcoming shooter, according to Bloomberg via Ars Technica and ITHome. [1] [2]

Human developers will manage and guide the AI-generated assets, with internal messages stating "no more hand-written code" and art "generated with full AI workflows." The project, originally slated for March 2027, has been delayed indefinitely. [1] [2]
