Reports citing internal messages say Epic’s Disney collaboration shooter shifted to an AI-centered approach for code and art production. Humans would set objectives and review results, while the originally targeted March 2027 unveiling reportedly slipped to an unspecified date. Epic confirmed its direction of using AI to accelerate development but did not officially confirm every detail. Executives described the goal as producing more output rather than employing fewer people. It has also not been established that AI adoption alone caused the schedule delay.
