Epic Games is currently facing significant criticism regarding its shift toward AI-accelerated development. CEO Tim Sweeney has publicly dismissed the backlash, maintaining that the company remains unaffected by the negative reception surrounding these strategic changes.
Reports indicate that a standalone Marvel and Star Wars shooter project is currently behind schedule. To address these production delays, Epic Games has reportedly issued mandates requiring that all new code be generated by AI and that art assets be produced using full AI workflows.
The gaming community has responded with skepticism toward these AI-centric production methods. Furthermore, there is speculation regarding the status of the $1.5 billion investment provided by Disney, as current outputs have been limited to Fortnite cosmetics and Creative islands.
Sweeney defended the initiative on social media, asserting that the goal is to empower teams to create more content using Unreal Engine tools rather than reducing staff. Meanwhile, the company recently launched a new beta version of the Epic Games Launcher.
