Steam page discloses AI use in Tomb Raider remake

Steam’s store page for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis discloses that AI-assisted tools were used during development to support early exploration and temporary assets. The remake is being developed by Crystal Dynamics with support from Flying Wild Hog and is scheduled for release in February next year. The updated Steam listing is the project’s first public confirmation that generative tools were part of development.

The page states:

AI-assisted tools were used during development to support some early exploration and temporary development content. Any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans in order to maintain the creative and artistic vision of the development team.

The listing states the AI work was limited to early exploration and temporary content and that human developers replaced or refined those assets for the final product. The statement does not name specific tools, does not detail the scope of their use, and does not specify how much, if any, AI-produced material remains in the released game.

Use of generative AI in game development has become more common, and some studios have started adding transparency notes to their listings and release materials. The Steam disclosure notes the role of AI while emphasising human oversight for final assets.
