Cygames, the developer and publisher behind the popular series of Granblue Fantasy video games, just opened an AI-focused studio. In response to the backlash toward this announcement, Cygames put out a message trying to assuage players’ fears about generative AI’s use in its games. The message isn’t very reassuring, though.
This kerfuffle started on January 9, when a post on Cygames’ Japanese website revealed that Cygames AI Studio had been established. The announcement explains that this new studio will research and develop its own models and provide services to others while drawing on Cygames’ game development history and expertise.
The use of artificial intelligence, specifically generative AI, has become a very hot-button issue in the video game industry as of late. Games like Arc Raiders and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have faced backlash over their use of the technology, and each new AI-related gaming announcement online usually draws the ire of fans.
It’s exciting to see Cygames taking innovative steps by opening an AI studio! It’ll be interesting to see how this development influences future projects and enhances the gaming experience. Looking forward to what they create next!
to see how they integrate AI into their games. AI could enhance storytelling and character development, making the Granblue Fantasy experience even more immersive. I’m curious how they’ll balance new technology with the traditional art style fans love!
