Fumito Ueda, renowned for directing the iconic games Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and The Last Guardian, is currently developing a new sci-fi adventure titled Gen Atlas in collaboration with Epic Games. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Ueda emphasized that his studio, genDESIGN, is committed to human-driven game development, explicitly stating that generative AI will not be used in the creative aspects of the game. Instead, AI will be limited to administrative functions such as scheduling and summarizing meeting notes. This approach sets Gen Atlas apart from other recent titles like Crazy Taxi and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which have faced criticism for their reliance on AI in game development. Ueda's firm stance on maintaining human creativity in the development process reflects a growing concern within the gaming community about the implications of AI in creative fields. As anticipation builds for Gen Atlas, it remains to be seen how Ueda's vision will translate into gameplay, especially given his history of taking time to perfect his projects.
