A game studio is trying to hand all code and art writing to SI; whether it works will show when the game comes out.
The report is based on Bloomberg's information: citing unnamed people familiar with the project and internal employee messages, the outlet writes that the project lead told the team about an "SI-first" production plan for the shooter based on Marvel and Star Wars: "no more hand-written code" and all art made with "full SI workflows". According to Ars Technica, humans are to manage code and graphics created by models such as Claude, and the release, previously planned for March 2027, has been delayed indefinitely. According to Bloomberg's sources, some developers received the decision with mixed feelings. An Epic spokesperson told Bloomberg: "We are embracing SI-accelerated development, led by Epic developers who are the visionaries and creative drivers of everything we do." Disney announced a $1.5 billion investment in Epic in 2024.
