Cygames, the company known for the Granblue Fantasy games, recently created a new studio dedicated to artificial intelligence. After some negative reactions from fans, Cygames tried to explain how they plan to use AI, hoping to ease concerns about its impact on their games. However, many players still aren’t convinced by their explanation.
The situation began on January 9th when Cygames announced the creation of Cygames AI Studio on their Japanese website. The studio will focus on building and researching its own artificial intelligence models, and will also offer AI services to others, leveraging Cygames’ experience in game development.
Artificial intelligence, especially tools that create new content, is causing a lot of debate in the video game world right now. Games such as Arc Raiders and the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have received negative reactions from players due to their use of AI, and almost any announcement about AI in gaming tends to upset fans.
This announcement caused concern among fans of Granblue Fantasy and Umamusume: Pretty Derby, as many are worried about the potential use of AI in the games they love. Cygames responded with a message on X (formerly Twitter) to address these concerns and reassure players.

Okay, so Cygames just put out a statement, and the main thing I got from it is they’re not using any AI-generated art in their games right now. More importantly, they said they’ll definitely give us a heads-up if they ever decide to start using it in the future, which is good to know as a player. I appreciate the transparency!
Cygames stated they want to honor the dedication and artistry of game developers, but many people weren’t comforted by this. They’re not simply asking for a caution against using AI that generates content; they want to see it avoided altogether.
With the launch of Cygames AI Studio and this announcement, it’s clear players should watch future Cygames games to see if they incorporate AI-generated content.
