Today's gaming news is dominated by AI's growing presence in development, with a survey showing developers are divided on its impact while a writer claims she was replaced by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Elden Ring and Phantom Blade Zero are making waves with new releases and showcases.
Two stories put AI's role in game development under a microscope, with a survey painting a broad picture and a specific accusation stirring debate.
The Gamescom survey finds 83% of developers expect AI to reshape teams or productivity within three years, but they're split on whether that's good or bad. That split is the real story: the industry knows AI is coming, it just can't agree on what it means.
Saber's CEO denies the claim that Rideshare Stimulator's writers were replaced with ChatGPT, but the former lead writer's account of being 'replaced' and AI-generated voices raises questions about how studios actually use AI behind closed doors.
New hardware and gameplay showcases give players something to look forward to, from a Switch 2 Elden Ring port to a Wolverine PS5 bundle.
The Tarnished Edition bundles the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree with new Starting Classes, making it the definitive Switch 2 version. August 28 is the date to mark if you've been waiting to play Elden Ring on Nintendo's hardware.
The Wolverine PS5 bundle is a first look at the Battle Yellow design, and it's a big deal for collectors. Insomniac's Wolverine is one of the most anticipated exclusives, and this bundle ties the game's aesthetic to the console itself.
Phantom Blade Zero's State of Play on August 17 is a deep dive into gameplay, and pre-orders are live now. This is the moment the game's combat and world get shown in detail, so it's worth watching if you're on the fence.
