Epic Bans Hand-Written Code and Delays Disney Game

huggingnews.com

Epic Games has postponed the launch of its upcoming Marvel and Star Wars title after directing staff to stop writing code by hand. Developers on the Disney shooter must now use an AI-first production model where all content is generated via artificial intelligence workflows and supervised by humans. The company reportedly ordered the use of the Claude AI model to vibecode the project as part of a pivot to maximum AI acceleration announced by CEO Tim Sweeney.
