    Bloomberg report: Epic pushed an unannounced Disney shooter toward an AI-first pipeline

    Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the project, reported that Epic Games told the makers of an unannounced Disney shooter to adopt an AI-first production model, with art and code generated by AI, and that the project has been delayed indefinitely from a planned March release.

Epic did not confirm or deny the account, with its communications director saying the company is embracing AI-accelerated development led by Epic developers, while Disney has not commented.

    Epic Games' unannounced Star Wars and Marvel crossover shooter pivots to AI-first development and is delayed indefinitely

    An unannounced Star Wars and Marvel crossover shooter at Epic Games has been delayed indefinitely from its planned March 2027 release, with staff told to adopt an AI-first production model using tools such as Anthropic's Claude, according to Bloomberg. CEO Tim Sweeney said on X that Epic has a huge pivot underway to retool developers for maximum AI acceleration, and that the company's modest aim is to survive the AI revolution. He said current AI efficiency gains range from 20% in the most technical areas of Unreal Engine development to 5x in areas like web development. Epic Games laid off over 1,000 employees in March.

    VRChat community protests influx of generative AI content as platform opens AI policy consultation

    VRChat community volunteer Patroll said they would stop wiki maintenance, translation and community testing in protest at the influx of AI-generated worlds and images, urging other developers to label their work as AI-free. VRChat then banned deceptive AI thumbnails, endorsed AI for translation, code help and engine tools like Blender and Unity, but called user-facing uses such as generating worlds or game logic uncertain and asked users whether to label or ban them. The platform also promised better search to surface higher-quality content, with the consultation running for a week before findings and policies are shared.

    Mood Publishing is crowdfunding Satisfactory: The Board Game on Gamefound, adapting Coffee Stain Studios' factory sim for up to four players who mine, refine, and upgrade factories to earn the most FICSIT points before the space elevator is finished.

    Does Blizzard's Revival of Its Classic Games Signal a Return of the 'Old Blizzard'?

    At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard announced that Heroes of the Storm is resuming active development with its first new hero in six years, Xal'atath, alongside World of Warcraft: Forever, Diablo 5, and an open world StarCraft shooter. Warcraft 3: Reforged also received a new full-length DLC campaign, Forsaken Kingdom, priced at $30. The article argues these moves show Blizzard still wants to honor its legacy communities, but Diablo 3 remains without new content, so the "old Blizzard" may never truly return.

    After a six-hour closed-door demo, I saw another side of Phantom Blade Zero

    The author attended the final closed-door pre-release playtest of Phantom Blade Zero in Beijing, spending about six hours with the complete first chapter and two bosses from later chapters. He also spoke with producer Liang Qiwei and found that the sub-weapon system gives the 3D action game a clear Metroidvania feel, such as using the Giant Axe to break village chains or the Chain Scythe to grapple to high anchors. The game is currently listed with 55 weapons, 30 main and 25 sub.

    Needle Shadow Tailor Dream review: a sewing simulator that has thousands stepping on the pedal

    Needle Shadow Tailor Dream is a management sim built around sewing, having players measure, pick fabric, draft patterns and run a tailor shop much like real garment work. It drew 200,000 wishlists before launch and now has over 10,000 reviews with a 98% positive rate. The author found the pace slow, with money for fabric as the only pressure, forgiving sewing checks and a photo mode for sharing finished dresses.

    Star Citizen's single-player campaign Squadron 42 gets a new trailer and a Steam store page

    On October 10, Cloud Imperium Games released a new trailer for Squadron 42, the single-player portion of Star Citizen, and opened its Steam store page with wishlisting for the first time. The trailer shows the Vanduul alien invasion, the player joining Squadron 42 as a UEE Navy recruit, and first-person platforming, puzzles, and ship customization. The game began as part of Star Citizen's 2012 crowdfunding goals, has slipped repeatedly, and in August its release window was pushed to the second quarter of 2027 to avoid GTA6.

    GTA 6 leaker says full game goes public if token hits $30 million, demands Rockstar ship a physical disc

    Anonymous hacker CyberLeek said in an October 10 post that a full GTA 6 build with the complete story mode and end credits would be released if the $CYBERLEEK token reaches a $30 million market cap; it currently sits around $2.4 million, about 8% of that goal. The leaker also demanded Take-Two release a real physical disc and apologize publicly, while Rockstar's support page states the announced boxed version contains only a download code. CyberLeek has framed earlier demands around consumer rights but has also promoted the token, and on August 27 a wallet linked to the leaker withdrew fees from the token pool and sold tokens for over $200,000, after which the price fell about 40%. No one has verified whether the leaker holds the full game, and Take-Two is still tracing the source of the leaks.

    Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has praised AI's role in game development while showing off a free online text-based interrogation prototype he says took less than an hour to make using only AI prompts. Horii said that unlike when he made The Portopia Serial Murder Case by himself, he can now create a decent game alone through AI instructions even without drawing or programming skills. The 72-year-old designer, who has said he intends to bring generative AI into his future games, shared the prototype on X.
