The Witcher and Cyberpunk developer CD Projekt Red is the latest company to sound off on the use of AI in gaming. During CD Projekt Red’s latest earnings briefing, Joint CEO Michaล Nowakowski said there are “meaningful” and “real” benefits to using the technology.
The company is already implementing such technologies “mainly in the productivity areas” and so far that’s where the “largest benefits” have stemmed from, he explained, as reported by GamesRadar. A developer won’t be able to use AI to make an entire game, though, and humans will remain essential to the process, he said.
“The benefits are real, theyโre meaningful; but it’s not a situation–and I’m unaware of such a situation–where AI could ‘sit down and make games.’ That’s our take. It doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be useful, but it’s not gonna be making The Witcher 5, or 6, or anything like that,” Nowakowski explained.
It’s exciting to see how CD Projekt Red is exploring the potential of AI in game development. It sounds like there could be some innovative advancements ahead for The Witcher 4. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds!
I agree, it’s definitely an interesting direction! Incorporating AI could lead to more dynamic storytelling and character interactions, which are hallmarks of The Witcher series. It’ll be fascinating to see how these advancements impact gameplay and player experience.
