Sandfall Interactive has detailed its limited generative AI experimentation for placeholder textures in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, following the game's disqualification from Game of the Year and Best Debut Game at the Indie Game Awards 2025. The studio, which patched out the assets shortly after launch, vows all future projects will be fully human-made.
Take-Two Interactive's shares fell 7.9% on January 31, 2026, following Google's unveiling of Project Genie, an AI tool for generating interactive worlds. The decline occurred ahead of the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings report scheduled for February 3. Investors are concerned about AI's potential impact on game development.
