Amid the news of an added duos mode and a new Helldivers 2-style community event, Arc Raiders has been dealing with some backlash. Embark Studios now has a track record of using generative AI for voice work in its games, first for The Finals and now for Arc Raiders, and it's causing no small amount of controversy.
The studio has been a tad flighty around the subject when it comes to Arc Raiders; the story seems to change every time someone asks. But recently the CEO of Embark's parent company Nexon, Junghun Lee, strongly defended the use of machine learning in game development, saying that "It's important to assume every game company is now using AI."
