TREE NEWS update: Epic Games has delayed a shooter featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters developed with Disney, originally slated for March 2027, and is requiring the project team to adopt an AI-first production model using tools including Anthropic’s Claude with human oversight throughout. The game director told the team in an internal message to stop hand-writing code and said all art would be generated via a fully AI workflow, shocking some staff. Epic communications director Jake Jones said the company is embracing AI-accelerated development led by Epic developers.
Epic Games Delays Disney Marvel, Star Wars Shooter to 2027, Mandates AI-First Development
AI take
The mandate matters less for one delayed title than for what it signals about production norms at a major studio: AI-first workflows, human oversight included, are being pushed top-down rather than piloted quietly. That shift affects the developers doing the work and the vendors supplying the tooling. Whether the approach holds up on a licensed Disney project, where quality and brand scrutiny are high, is the open question worth watching.
