Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis releases February 2027 and it uses generative AI

Crystal Dynamics, Flying Wild Hog, and Amazon Game Studios announced that *Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis* will release on February 12, 2027, but the game has sparked controversy for using generative AI during development. The developers stated on the Steam page that AI-assisted tools were used for early exploration and temporary content, with all AI-generated assets later replaced or refined by humans, though critics question the extent of AI use, its impact on artists, and the quality of the final product.

Crystal Dynamics with Flying Wild Hog and Amazon Game Studios revealed the Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis release date, but generative AI is derailing it. You've got a while to wait as the release date is now February 12, 2027. So what's the issue here? Well, for those who dislike generative AI - it's yet another game that's being made with it. Which has of course caused a fair bit of negative sentiment towards it. On the Steam page an AI message was added noting: "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". We've already seen from other games, multiple times, that clear generative AI works made it into the release build. It also leaves us to only guess on how they're really using it. What's being made with generative AI and then "refined" by a person? Is it causing artists to get paid less or for them to hire less actual people? It leaves a lot of questions on how the game is being made and what the actual quality will be. And just as important - what was the training material for the generative AI they're using? So many questions. See the trailer below: View cookie preferences /index.php?module=cookie prefs .
