Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity developer Larian has confirmed that it uses generative AI in its development processes, but not necessarily in the way you might think.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Larian boss Swen Vincke said its developers use generative AI tools for things like exploring new game ideas, developing concept art, creating placeholder text, and for PowerPoint presentations. Vincke said, “I think at this point everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we’re using it.” That said, Bloomberg reported that there has been “some pushback at Larian.”
He also confirmed that the new Divinity game will not have any AI-generated content in it. “Everything is human actors; we’re writing everything ourselves,” he said.
It’s exciting to see how Larian is incorporating generative AI into their games! This innovation could lead to some fascinating developments in storytelling and gameplay. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together in Baldur’s Gate 3.
