- The Blood of Dawnwalker director has stated that the RPG used generative AI in early development.
- The developer generated voice lines to fix problems before the costly process of recording started.
- However, the title won’t have any AI content in the final game.
Ever since its reveal in 2025, The Blood of Dawnwalker has been amongst the most anticipated RPGs in the industry. Directed by The Witcher 3 lead Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the dark fantasy title has piqued the interest of fans through its early gameplay and trailers.
Boasting a unique protagonist structure and interesting combat that will include supernatural elements, the game was one of the wild ideas that made Tomaszkiewicz leave CD Projekt Red. Now, the director has answered another important query about The Blood of Dawnwalker: Whether the game will have AI content or not.
Why it matters: This smart use of generative AI to save costs is arguably the best way the technology can be utilised in the industry without impacting jobs.
In an interview with The Game Business, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz revealed that generative AI was used in the initial development of The Blood of Dawnwalker. However, the technology was only utilised as a placeholder, and the final game won’t include any AI content.
You know we aren’t really using AI. We used AI in the early development process to generate the voices to find out all the problems we have before we record with the actors.
The director explained that developer Rebel Wolves only implemented AI to generate voice lines during the early stages of production, as many problems in complex AAA titles like The Blood of Dawnwalker appear after voice lines are added.
Hence, by utilising the technology, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz was able to iterate on the RPG several times before starting the costly process of recording lines, helping them save a lot of money by fixing issues early on.
Furthermore, the Rebel Wolves CEO assured fans that The Blood of Dawnwalker won’t have any AI content in the final product. Tomaszkiewicz also confirmed that RPG is already playable on the PS5 and fans won’t have to wait too long to see how accurate the Witcher 3 comparison is.
