5 outletsEpic Games has reportedly delayed an unannounced Disney collaboration—a shooter featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters—and instructed its developers to adopt an 'AI-first' production model, meaning AI tools will generate code and art rather than hand-written code. The shift, reportedly spearheaded by Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, marks a major pivot in development, with the game's release pushed back from an original March date to accommodate the new workflow.
The claim originates from a Bloomberg report, which is a reputable primary source, but this item is an aggregated/secondary summary with no primary cited. The reporting is consistent across multiple outlets (The Verge, Engadget, Ars Technica, Rock Paper Shotgun), and the search results confirm the core details: the delay, the AI-first directive, and the Marvel/Star Wars shooter. However, specific details like the exact release date and the extent of AI use are inferred from secondary coverage and should be treated as reported, not independently verified.
This is genuinely new reporting from October 12–13, 2026, based on a Bloomberg story that broke within the last day.
