Epic Goes 'AI First': Claude Writes All Code in $1.5B Disney Project, Game Delayed
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-10-13
Per Bloomberg, Epic Games is pivoting to an 'AI first' development model for its $1.5 billion Disney collaboration, with models like Anthropic's Claude writing all code and generating all art assets while human developers manage the output. The Marvel/Star Wars shooter originally slated for March 2027 has been delayed indefinitely amid understaffing and slower-than-expected development.
