Epic Games reportedly pivoting to "AI first" game development model
Epic Games has reportedly pivoted to an ā€œAI firstā€ development model for its $1.5 billion Disney collaboration, with AI models like Claude writing code and generating art while human developers manage the output. The Marvel/Star Wars shooter is now delayed indefinitely, underscoring the friction in transitioning to AI-accelerated pipelines. The move signals a high-stakes bet that AI can redefine AAA production, but the delay and reliance on human oversight suggest the revolution remains a work in progress.
