Epic Games reportedly orders staff to implement ‘AI-first’ development

Epic Games has reportedly instructed its developers to implement “AI-first” development and use “no more handwritten code” on an unannounced shooter. That’s according to a report by Bloomberg , which claims that one of the unannounced game’s directors told staff in an internal message that all art for the title would now be “generated with full AI workflows.” The game in question is a collaboration with Disney – which invested $1.5 billion in Epic in 2024 – that is said to feature characters from both Marvel and Star Wars.
