Reviews for Crimson Desert have been varied, but a significant concern for the game has been the revelation of what seemed to be AI-produced assets in the final launch. The developer has now admitted that AI art was indeed utilized during the game’s development, though it stated that it was meant to be replaced prior to launch. In a statement on X, the company noted it was performing a “thorough audit” to find and substitute any AI-generated content.
The company expressed regret for both its use in the final product and for not being clearer about its application during development. “We should have clearly disclosed our use of AI,” it stated.
The incorporation of generative AI in gaming has emerged as a controversial topic over the past couple of years as it has integrated into numerous high-profile titles. While certain major studios have adopted it, many smaller developers have pushed back against the trend, proudly declaring their games as “AI free.”
