Epic Games has officially delayed its upcoming shooter featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters. While the project was previously slated for March, no updated release window has been provided following the postponement.
Internal directives now require staff to adopt an "AI first" production strategy. Developers were instructed to utilize tools like Anthropic's Claude, with one director explicitly stating that there should be no more hand-written code and that all art assets must be generated through AI workflows.
Sources indicate that the project fell behind schedule due to miscalculations regarding necessary staffing and time. During a recent video call, the announcement reportedly left some team members stunned, marking a significant shift as no other major studio has attempted to build a game primarily using AI.
Epic communications director Jake Jones stated the company is embracing AI-accelerated development under the guidance of its internal creative teams. This title represents the first major project from the partnership formed after Disney's $1.5 billion equity investment in Epic during 2024.
