Epic Games宣布举办2026年Epic AI MegaJam游戏开发竞赛，参赛者将在11月12日至15日的四天内，使用虚幻引擎（Unreal Engine）或《堡垒之夜》虚幻编辑器（UEFN）制作一款可游玩的游戏。活动面向全球线上开放，也将在旧金山Digital Jungle场地举办线下环节，比赛主题预计于11月11日直播公布。
竞赛现金奖总额为6.5万美元，分设虚幻引擎最佳作品、UEFN最佳作品和最佳学生项目三大类别，每类前三名分别可获7500美元、5000美元和2500美元。另设最佳团队、独立开发者、视觉效果、手机游戏、AI使用记录和UEFN叙事游戏等类别。部分优秀作品还可获得最高5万美元的后续开发资助，AI合作伙伴也将提供工具额度；这些资助与工具权益不计入6.5万美元现金奖。
每队可由一名开发者单独参赛，也可由最多五名真人组成，并可使用不限数量的AI代理。Epic最初活动页面的常见问题写明“所有参赛作品都必须使用AI”，引发外界关注。随后，Unreal Engine官方账号承认这是FAQ中的错误，澄清参赛者可自行决定使用多少AI，甚至完全不用，并表示将更新FAQ和规则。
不过，活动页面当前显示的FAQ仍保留“必须使用AI”的旧说法，与官方账号的更正不一致。Epic表示会修订相关说明，参赛者应以更新后的正式规则为准。比赛要求参赛者在活动开始前不要动手制作最终游戏，但可以提前安装引擎、配置AI代理和开发工具；作品需在11月15日提交。

Epic Games announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam Game Development Competition, where participants will make a playable within four days of 12-15 November using either the Unreal Engine or the Fortress Night Fantasia Editor (UEFN). The event will be open online and will also be held at the Digital Jungle site in San Francisco, where the theme of the competition is expected to be broadcast live on 11 November.
The total cash prize for the competition was $65,000, divided into three categories, the best works of the Fulfilled Engine, the best works of the UEFN and the best student project, each receiving $7,500, $5,000 and $2,500. Add categories such as best team, independent developer, visual effects, mobile phone games, AI usage records and UEFN narrative games. Follow-up development grants of up to $50,000 are also available for some of the outstanding works, and AI partners will also provide tools quota; these grants and tool entitlements are not included in the $65,000 cash prize.
Each team may be composed of a single developer or a maximum of five real persons and may use an unlimited number of AI agents. The common question on Epic's original campaign page, “All entries must be made using AI”, is of outside interest. Subsequently, the Unreal Engineering official account admitted that it was an error in FAQ, clarified how many AIs the contestants could use, or not at all, and indicated that the FAQ and the rules would be updated.
However, the FAQ currently displayed on the active page retains the old expression “must use AI”, which is inconsistent with the correction of the official account number. Epic indicated that the instructions would be revised and that participants would be guided by updated formal rules. The competition requires participants not to make the final game before the event begins, but to install engines, install AI agents and develop tools in advance; the work is due on 15 November.
