Epic Games reportedly delays Star Wars and Marvel shooter, as the Fortnite maker embraces "AI-accelerated development"

Epic Games has reportedly turned to gen-AI to finish up development on a shooter that crosses over Star Wars and Marvel, which has been internally delayed.

That's according to a Bloomberg report from journalist Jason Schreier, citing anonymous sources familiar with the unannounced game. Epic's in-development project - a collaboration with Disney - is said to have hit a speed bump, and the Fortnite maker is apparently telling its developers to embrace more gen-AI tools for the rest of the game's production.
