Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss “sincerely apologizes” for AI-generated assets that are present in the current version, saying it will work to replace them all. Several paintings found across the open-world game had been raising eyebrows for bizarre errors reminiscent of early AI image generation. The game’s creator confirms, “Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it.”

 Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss admits “experimental generative-AI tools” were used in early iteration, and should have been replaced.  PCGamesN
