Epic Games has delayed an upcoming video game collaboration with Walt Disney. Developers on the project have been instructed to prioritize artificial intelligence tools in its creation. This new game, which will feature Marvel and Star Wars characters, was originally scheduled for a March release. A new release date has not yet been announced. The game's directors have emphasized an "AI first" production model, utilizing tools like Anthropic's Claude. Human oversight will still guide the AI-generated work. Internal messages indicate a shift away from traditional hand-written code for the game. Furthermore, all art for the title is reportedly to be generated using AI workflows. Epic Games has been advocating for AI integration across its operations. This initiative marks the first major attempt by a video game company to build a title predominantly with AI. Epic Games states they are embracing AI-accelerated development, with their developers still in charge of the creative vision.
