Epic's Disney game delayed as project shifts to AI-first production

Epic's Disney game delayed as project shifts to AI-first production Image: Primary
Epic Games' Disney game has been delayed and is now an "AI first" project after the company underestimated the staffing needed to produce it, AV Club reported, citing Bloomberg. The game will feature Marvel and Star Wars characters. Epic laid off 1,000 employees in March following a reported downturn in Fortnite engagement that prompted cost cuts. The Disney project had been scheduled for March; the reported shift to AI follows the production staffing shortfall.
