Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Steam Page Features AI Disclosure
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis features an AI generation disclosure on Steam, prompting fresh discussions around transparency and tool usage in modern game development.
Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog revealed a fresh look at Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis during the latest PlayStation State of Play, showing Lara Croft tracking down the Scion of Atlantis across the globe. Alongside the new footage, eagle-eyed players noticed an AI Generated Content Disclosure on the game's Steam page. The notice states that AI-assisted tools were used during early exploration and temporary development work, but clarifies that these assets were either replaced or refined by human developers to protect the studio's artistic vision.
Crystal Dynamics later elaborated on its workflow in a statement to Eurogamer, explaining that artificial intelligence helps teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently. The studio emphasized that all finished content in the final product is human-crafted, framing the technology as a way to empower developer creativity rather than replace hands-on artistry. This cautious approach mirrors recent disclosures from other major titles, such as Crimson Desert, where similar tools were used for supplementary 2D prop assets before facing community scrutiny over leftover art.
The industry remains divided on how storefronts should handle these disclosures. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney recently argued that tagging games for AI use makes little sense as the technology becomes standard production tooling, comparing it to asking developers trivial questions about their daily routines. Other corners of the gaming community and development scene firmly disagree, arguing that transparency matters deeply to players who want to know how their favorite interactive art is made. As major releases increasingly incorporate these tools, expectations around studio honesty and asset origin will only continue to grow.
