Epic Games delays Disney shooter to pivot to AI development

Bloomberg reports that Epic Games delayed its unnamed Disney shooter, which was originally scheduled for March 2027. The company is shifting to an AI first workflow to make up for staffing shortages that slowed progress. A game director reportedly told staff there will be no more handwritten code and that art will be generated using full AI workflows. Tim Sweeney confirmed a pivot to AI acceleration on X. He says the goal is to build more content rather than reduce headcount. For more details, see the reports from Tom's Hardware and TechSpot.
