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. The report says the game's director told developers there would be no more hand-written code and that the team was ordered to lean more on tools such as Anthropic's Claude. 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.
