12 November 2025 11:11
Nexon CEO Junghun Lee has spoken out about the growing role of artificial intelligence in game development, claiming that nearly every studio in the industry is already using AI in some way. His comments come as discussions continue around ARC Raiders, the hit post-apocalyptic shooter developed by Nexon’s Embark Studios, and its use of AI-generated voices.
The game has been both a critical and commercial success, selling over four million copies in its first week and reaching record-breaking player counts across multiple platforms. It’s also being hailed as the highest-rated multiplayer shooter in a decade and the top-rated extraction shooter ever made.
Despite its success, ARC Raiders has faced some backlash online over its use of AI-assisted voice work. Some players have criticized the choice, while others have shown support for the developers’ transparency. Embark Studios has clarified that voice actors were involved in the process, allowing their performances to be replicated by AI and receiving fair compensation for their contributions.
In a recent interview, Junghun Lee addressed the issue directly:
“First of all, I think it’s important to assume that every game company is now using AI. But if everyone is working with the same or similar technologies, the real question becomes: how do you survive? I believe it’s important to choose a strategy that increases your competitiveness.”
