Hellblade devs clarify they aren't just replacing real actors with AI after voice acting controversy
Ninja Th🧸eory says real actors "are at the he🌄art of bringing our stories to life"

Ninja Theory, the Xbox subsidiary best known for the Hellblade games, has clarified that it's not replacing real actors with AI, putting to rest some fears after a report on the state of A🍌I voice acting technology.
Asked by a fan on if Ninja Theory was con🌌sidering replaci🗹ng voice actors with AI, the studio replied "No. For clarity, we use this AI tech for placeholder content only to help us understand things like timing and placement in early phases of development. We then collaborate with real actors whose performances are at the heart of bringing our stories to life."
about Altered AI, a company which creates AI voice acting technology. The report notes that while AI voice acting is already commonly used as a placeholder in development, many voice actors are concerned that the tech may evolve to a point where it will replace human performances with "soulless" AI imitations.Altered AI has already been used to provide voice acting in a released video game, as to voice many sidequest NPCs. The report also notes that the technology is in use by Ninja Theory, though Altered AI did not provide any detail on how it was being used🎀 by that studio.
Still, the report was enough to kick up a wave of social media concern over whether Ninja Theory was set to move to AI voice acting for upcoming games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hellblade 2, to the point where the studio felt a need to respond. The original Hellblade was particularly re✱nowned for the performances of actors like Melina Juergens, and it seems that huꦗman performance capture is continuing at the studio for now.
