Epic 为在研迪士尼游戏转向 AI 加速开发，代码与美术将改由 AI 生成
Epic shifts to ‘AI-accelerated development’ for upcoming Disney game
- 1据 Bloomberg 报道，Epic 为在研迪士尼游戏下达 AI-first 指令，代码与美术均用 AI 生成
- 2开发团队被要求多用 Anthropic 的 Claude 等工具，一名游戏总监在内部信息中称不再手写代码
- 3员工被告知全部美术将由完整 AI 工作流生成，该射击游戏已从原定 3 月档期推迟
- 4该作属 Epic 与迪士尼多年合作，迪士尼 2024 年投资 15 亿美元；Epic 今年早些时候裁员超 1000 人
头部游戏工作室把 AI 从个人可选工具变成强制生产方式，代码与美术两条核心管线同时被要求交由 AI 完成。
- 影响：游戏与内容公司的代码、美术两大成本项进入可重算区间；自上而下的 AI 强制令开始出现在头部工作室管理实践中；同一公司此前裁员超 1000 人，生产方式与岗位变化同步发生。
- 参考：可考虑先算出自家内容生产中代码与美术环节的人力成本基线，再选一个小项目对照全 AI 工作流的交付质量与返工率；值得同步盘点与生成式管线重叠的岗位职能清单。
- 依据：Bloomberg 报道援引内部信息与 Epic 发言人声明，官方口径为拥抱 AI 加速开发；AI 生成代码与美术的成品质量暂无独立评测，延迟与裁员信息来自同篇报道。

Epic Games plans to use AI to generate code and art for an unannounced Disney game, which is now delayed from its original March release window, according to a report from Bloomberg. The project’s developers have been given an “AI-first” mandate directing them to use tools like Anthropic’s Claude more to finish the game.
According to Bloomberg, one of the game’s directors said in a message to staff, “No more hand-written code.” Staff were also told that all of the game’s art will be “generated with full AI workflows.” In a statement given to Bloomberg, Epic Games spokesperson Jake Jones said the company is “embracing AI-accelerated development.”
Epic Games and Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The upcoming game is reportedly a shooter featuring characters from Marvel and Star Wars. It’s part of a multiyear collaboration between Epic and Disney, which also invested $1.5 billion in Epic in 2024. Epic already uses AI in Fortnite, which has previously featured Disney characters like an AI Darth Vader. But it sounds like Epic may be aiming to have AI do most of the heavy lifting on its new Disney game.
AI game development tools have been popping up from other large companies, like Meta and Google, so Epic isn’t alone here. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has also pushed for Steam to drop its “made with AI” tag, arguing that “AI will be involved in nearly all future production.” Earlier this year, Epic laid off over 1,000 of its employees, following a “downturn” in engagement on Fortnite since 2025.
