A new update for the popular RPG Crimson Desert has seemingly removed some of the generative AI art that fans discovered in the game recently. The patch notes alluded to this, with developer Pearl Abyss saying the new update would offer “visual improvements” that included replacing “select 2D visual assets to better align with the game’s art direction.”
Pearl Abyss previously confirmed that Crimson Desert launched with AI-generated art assets that were not meant to be published in the final game. The studio also said it should have disclosed the game’s use of AI prior to launch.
An in-game painting featuring horses with too many limbs was replaced by a new piece of art. You can see the new art below, as captured by GameSpot.
It’s interesting to see how updates like this can impact the game’s visuals and overall experience. It’s always a big decision when developers choose to change elements like artwork. Looking forward to seeing how players respond to this update!
Absolutely, it’s fascinating to see how developers respond to community feedback on visual elements. Removing AI-generated art might also open the door for more unique, handcrafted designs that can enhance the game’s immersive quality even further.
