Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has an AI-generated content disclosureCrystal Dynamics says any AI assets used have been ‘either replaced or refined by humans’It added in a statement that “we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently”<\/p>\n

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is the latest game to feature an AI-generated content disclosure, but Crystal Dynamics has insisted that any AI assets used during development have been “replaced or refined” by humans.<\/p>\n

The disclosure was spotted on Steam<\/a> after pre-orders went live following the game’s new trailer and release date announcement at Sony<\/a>‘s State of Play on June 2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It reads: “The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI-assisted tools were used during development to support some early exploration and temporary development content. Any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans in order to maintain the creative and artistic vision of the development team.”<\/p>\n

It doesn’t mention which assets were AI-assisted, but we’ve seen environment assets and textures being used by other studios in the past, for example, in Clair Obsure: Expedition 33<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crimson Desert<\/a> also had a disclosure before release, which read, “Generative AI technology is used in a supplementary capacity during the creation of some 2D prop assets.” However, while Pearl Abyss did say AI assets were replaced, some were still spotted post-launch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite Crystal Dynamics’ insistence that they were replaced by human developers later on in development, however, fans are not too happy.<\/p>\n

“Very disappointing,” one Redditor<\/a> said. “I know I am unfortunately too weak to not end up buying the game, especially with how great it looks, but it just seems like a waste of time, money and resources, not to mention the environmental impact, especially if the assets ended up being replaced or ‘refined.'”<\/p>\n

“I guess at least they’re honest about it?” another another said<\/a>. “Though I don’t know if it will make anyone less unhappy.”<\/p>\n

Crystal Dynamics has since released a statement to Eurogamer<\/a>, but did not specify what the AI technology was used for.<\/p>\n

“At Crystal Dynamics, we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently, while ensuring that all finished content in the final product is human-crafted,” the statement reads. “Our goal is to empower the creativity and flexibility of our developers to deliver the highest-quality experiences for players everywhere.”<\/p>\n

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis was originally slated to launch this year, but has been delayed to February 27, 2027.<\/p>\n
