Epic Games has reportedly postponed an unannounced shooter project featuring Star Wars and Marvel characters. While the collaboration with Disney was initially scheduled for a March 2027 release, the title currently lacks a launch date.
The delay coincides with an internal push toward an AI-first production model. Reports indicate that developers were instructed to minimize hand-written code and utilize AI workflows for artwork generation. Communications director Jake Jones confirmed that the company is embracing AI-accelerated development, emphasizing that Epic staff remain the creative drivers behind these projects.
CEO Tim Sweeney described this transition as a significant pivot toward maximum AI acceleration, intended to help teams produce better content more efficiently. This strategy is central to the partnership with Disney, which includes a $1.5 billion investment and multiple ongoing gaming collaborations.
Consultant Lachlan Phillips, who has worked on Disney experiences within Fortnite, noted that he advocated for integrating AI-heavy workflows into both coding and art production. Despite these reports, Epic Games has not officially addressed the existence of the specific Disney-themed shooter.
