11 Bit Studios, developer and publisher of the recently released The Alters, has responded to backlash over AI-generated content found in-game. Players discovered two separate instances of AI being used in The Alters, for text used in a texture and in the game’s Brazilian Portuguese translation for licensed movies that can be watched by characters in the game.
11 Bit Studios responded to the controversy via a post on Bluesky, claiming both instances of AI-generated content were effectively placeholders. According to the post, the AI-generated text not being replaced was the lone instance of an oversight prior to release, while the AI translation for the in-game movies was a result of “last-minute translations” not being ready in time for launch. The texture in question is in the process of being removed from the game, while the translation is also undergoing its due process through 11 Bit Studios’ localization partners, with a hotfix planned. Players have taken umbrage with The Alters not disclosing the use of AI-generated content on Steam, which is part of the platform’s requirements.
