Epic Games is transitioning to an AI-first development workflow, starting with an unannounced Disney shooter. According to Bloomberg, staff were told there would be "no more handwritten code" and all art generated via AI. The shooter, featuring Marvel and Star Wars characters, will use Anthropic's Claude AI suite with human review.
The shift follows layoffs of 1,000 workers and comes as Epic aims to regain market share against Steam, with the launcher promising Linux support soon.
