Embark CEO says 'a real professional actor is better than AI' after the studio re-records some Arc Raiders dialog with real humans

Arc Raiders has proven to be a big hit and showed that the extraction shooter had legs for a more casual crowd, but like The Finals before it, it's drawn negative attention for its use of AI voices.

In a new interview, Embark CEO and Nexon executive chairman Patrick Söderlund told GamesIndustry.biz that the studio has begun to phase out "a lot" of the AI-generated voice work in Arc Raiders.

"We re-recorded some of the lines post-launch and made them with real voices … There is a quality difference," Söderlund said.
