Bloomberg reports that Epic Games has instructed staff working on an unannounced shooter to adopt an AI-first development strategy. Internal communications suggest a shift away from manual coding for this project, which is reportedly a collaboration with Disney featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters.
The project, which has fallen behind schedule due to underestimated staffing needs, will utilize tools like Anthropic's Claude. According to reports, a director informed staff that all art assets would be generated through AI processes, though human employees will continue to manage and guide the AI's output.
While some developers expressed shock at the new directive, an Epic spokesperson confirmed the company is actively using AI to accelerate development. The company maintains that human developers remain the primary drivers of creative vision and project direction.
CEO Tim Sweeney stated that Epic is undergoing a major transformation to maximize AI usage. He emphasized that the goal is to enable teams to create more and better content. This aligns with Epic's broader strategy, including plans to integrate AI tools into Unreal Engine 6 to reduce repetitive tasks.
