Epic delays Disney game, shifts to AI-first development
What happened
Epic Games' Disney game, featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters, was originally set for a March launch and has been delayed. Bloomberg reported the company underestimated the staffing the project needed; Epic cut 1,000 jobs in March as Fortnite engagement fell. An October 13 report said Epic is asking staff to build the game with an all-AI workflow and no hand-written code, which reportedly shocked employees. An Epic spokesperson confirmed AI-accelerated development led by the company's own developers. A later report, citing Bloomberg, said the Disney shooter is moving to AI-first development, with AI models writing all code and directing all art work. No new launch date was given.
