James Pond Legacy Trailer Under AI-Art Scrutiny, Devs Say Artwork Was Human-Created
System 3’s James Pond Legacy: The Pond is Not Enough trailer sparked AI-art claims, leading the studio to briefly mute comments. The dev insists no generative AI was used, stating the pond characters were hand-crafted from pixel-art origins and redrawn in Illustrator/Photoshop before 3D rendering. The collection, featuring four classic James Pond titles plus an interactive historical archive, will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 in October 2026, continuing a broader industry debate over AI-generated game art.
