Crimson Desert AI Art Sparks Authenticity Debate
Pearl Abyss’s Crimson Desert shipped with strong sales but is drawing fire for undeclared use of generative AI in some in‑game art. Critics point to AI-generated-looking paintings and question the game's authenticity and credibility, especially given its reported $130M budget and the lack of disclosure on Steam. Pearl Abyss hasn’t publicly responded, fueling a broader debate about AI art in video games.
