Arc Raiders taps real voices for AI-driven lines, boosting immersion
TL;DR
Arc Raiders’ developer Embark Studios re-recorded some AI-generated voice lines with professional actors after launch, saying real voices provide higher quality. The studio paid actors to license their voices for text-to-speech use and replaced several lines, though not all AI lines were scrapped. In response to feedback, the team plans to keep using actors for updates while still employing AI for non-essential lines.
