Epic Games has postponed the launch of a game developed in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, according to Investing.com 한국어. The outlet reports that the delay is tied to a shift toward an "AI-first" approach to development.
The report, published Monday, did not include a new release date or a reason for the change beyond the move to prioritize AI in the studio's workflow.
The two companies had been working together on a project that would combine Epic's game development capabilities with Disney's entertainment properties. Investing.com 한국어 frames the delay as part of a broader change in how Epic approaches production rather than an isolated scheduling issue.
The term "AI-first" suggests the company intends to place artificial intelligence at the center of its development process going forward, though the report does not detail which tools or teams are involved, or how the change affects other projects in Epic's pipeline.
Epic has not publicly confirmed the delay or the development shift in the material available. The specific terms of the Disney partnership, including the scope of the game and its intended platforms, were not included in the report.
What to watch next: whether Epic Games or Disney issues an official statement with a revised timeline, and whether the AI-first model extends to other titles in Epic's lineup.
