The family involved in the decision.
I Cyberpunk 2077– the expansion Phantom Liberty (Polish version) they have recreated the voice of the late actor Miłogost Reczek – with the help of AI. He passed away in 2021, but in a sense still continues to play the ripper doctor Viktor Vektor i Phantom Liberty.
Bloomberg (paywall) writes that CD Projekt wanted to go the extra mile. Rather than replace the voice with a new one (and then maybe also the original lines), they wanted to honor Miłogost Reczek by using AI. Mikołaj Szwed, localization director, is satisfied with the decision reached.
This way we could keep his performance in the game and pay tribute to his amazing role as Viktor Vektor.
You must also have received the family’s permission before choosing to go ahead with the plan.
AI continues to be a hot potato in the gaming industry. Good or bad? The scholars dispute about this. That the Swedish developer Mindark replaces developers with AI is, for example, something that is upsetting.
