Recreate Games cancels AI video competition for Party Animals

Recreate Games has cancelled its AI video competition for the multiplayer game Party Animals after facing widespread criticism from players. The studio issued a public apology and ended the contest immediately. The move follows negative feedback received in recent days.

Recreate Games announced the cancellation on X yesterday. The studio explained that its initial goal was to promote creative expression and make participation easier for fans of Party Animals. However, the developers acknowledged tying this goal to AI use was a mistake that overlooked potential harm amid ongoing debates about the technology.

OpenAI announced on March 24, 2026, that it is discontinuing its Sora AI video generation app and related API, redirecting efforts toward business tools and robotics research. The decision, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, also unravels a $1 billion partnership with Disney. Company executives cited a need to avoid distractions from core productivity applications.

Recreate Games has apologized after its AI video contest for Party Animals drew strong criticism from the community. The studio offered a $75,000 prize pool for AI-generated short films and animations but faced accusations of sidelining human creators. It now asks players to vote on next steps.

As the Academy tightens rules to bar AI-generated works from the 99th Oscars, major gaming awards like the Game Awards and BAFTAs have adopted far softer stances on AI, requiring disclosure in some cases but not outright bans.

Pearl Abyss apologized for including undisclosed AI-generated art in Crimson Desert. Former Blizzard co-president Mike Ybarra publicly urged the studio not to apologize, arguing AI is inevitable in games. His comments drew backlash from fans.

Game developer Glen Schofield, known for Dead Space, stated that AI will not replace human talent in game development but encouraged artists to learn the technology now. He highlighted the need for nuance in creation that current AI lacks. Schofield shared these views in a conversation with GamesIndustry.biz.
