The developer of the game Crimson Desert has issued an apology for the use of AI-generated assets in the game’s creation process. In response to concerns raised in recent reviews, the company has acknowledged that these AI-generated assets were meant to be replaced before the official launch.
In a statement, the developer explained that they are currently conducting a thorough audit to identify and substitute any AI-generated content present in the game. They also admitted to a lack of transparency regarding the incorporation of AI throughout the development phase, expressing regret for not openly disclosing this information from the outset.
The integration of generative AI in the gaming industry has become a contentious topic, with some major studios embracing the technology while smaller developers resist the trend, emphasizing that their games are ‘AI free’ as a point of pride.
