Epic Games reportedly delays Disney shooter title so it can pivot to AI coding

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 13 October 2026 and 13 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Developers working on an unnamed Disney shooter title for Epic Games were surprised when they were ordered to use as much AI as possible in their workflows.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as a reported delay of Epic’s Disney shooter tied to a shift toward AI-heavy development. Tom’s Hardware stays closest to the headline, while Engadget says developers were apparently told to use AI for both code and asset creation. Ars Technica is the most explicit about the framing, calling it an “AI first” model and adding the only mention of “no more hand-written code” or AI-free art.
