Epic Games delays Disney project to use more AI
Epic Games has delayed a video game for Disney to implement an artificial intelligence first production plan.
Internal directive shifts workflow
Sources told Bloomberg that the studio ordered all art to be generated with full AI workflows. One director informed the team that no hand-written code would be used moving forward.
Staff reaction varies widely
Some employees reportedly hoped the request was not serious while others accepted the change. Epic Communications Director Jake Jones stated the studio embraces AI-accelerated development led by its developers.
Disney investment context noted
Disney announced a $1.5 billion investment into Epic in 2024 for a games and entertainment universe. The collaboration aims to create new content beyond existing character skins seen in Fortnite.
