Epic Games is prioritizing AI in its game development partnership with Marvel and Star Wars, according to Ars Technica. Models like Claude will handle code generation and participate across all stages of creating artistic assets, with human teams guiding the process and reviewing the generated materials.
The project was originally scheduled for March 2027 but has been postponed indefinitely. The delay stems from the transition to AI-driven workflows, staffing constraints, and slower-than-expected development progress.
