Epic Bans Hand-Written Code and Delays Disney Game

AI8 days ago

Epic Games has postponed the launch of its upcoming Marvel and Star Wars title after directing staff to stop writing code by hand, based on reports from Bloomberg. Developers on the Disney shooter must now adopt an "AI first" production model where all content, including art and code, is generated via artificial intelligence workflows and سپس supervised by humans. The company has reportedly ordered the use of the Claude AI model to "vibecode" the project.

The shift is part of a company-wide pivot to "maximum AI acceleration" announced by CEO Tim Sweeney to enable teams to build more complex content and extend those benefits to Unreal Engine users. Sweeney stated the goal is to increase the volume and quality of output rather than reduce headcount. Industry observer Emad Mostaque described the current trajectory of AI in gaming as the largest step change in the sector's history.
