## Summary

Pearl Abyss says it is expanding the use of AI across its game development pipeline, citing productivity and quality. The move follows criticism of apparent generative AI assets in Crimson Desert, which were later removed, and an apology from the studio.

It also confirmed AI is being used for concept validation and pipeline productivity on upcoming creature-collecting game DokeV, without specifying how extensively.
