Asobo Rejects Generative AI for 70-Person Plague Tale Team, Citing Creativity Risks

Summary
Around 70 developers are making Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, yet Asobo says it still will not use generative AI in production.
Eric Chort said the studio sees AI as a threat to originality, artistic direction and authenticity, arguing smaller teams should scale scope or staff rather than rely on the tools.
Asobo instead points to production choices such as keeping games linear—not open-world—to deliver near triple-A visuals with double-A resources.
The stance lands as game studios face wider scrutiny over AI use, including backlash over a gen-AI disclaimer tied to the new Crazy Taxi and debate over limited use for routine tasks.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is due on October 27 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X and Game Pass.
