Larian Studios Divinity GenAI art policy: No AI art in next game
Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke confirms that the upcoming Divinity game will not feature any generative AI art, prioritizing human creativity over automated assets.
Humans draw the world; AI only builds the scaffolding. Larian Studios, the creative force behind the critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3, has officially drawn a line in the sand regarding its upcoming title, Divinity. The studio won't be using any generative AI-created art in the game, doubling down on human craftsmanship over machine-generated assets.
Larian Studios Divinity GenAI Stance Clarified
According to a recent Reddit AMA, CEO Swen Vincke addressed growing concerns about the role of automation in game development. "So first off - there is not going to be any GenAI art in Divinity," Vincke wrote, responding to community questions. This statement follows a Bloomberg interview where he mentioned that while the team explores AI for internal workflow efficiency, it won't be visible to players in the final product's artwork.
The controversy surrounding Larian Studios began when reports suggested the studio was integrating AI into its pipeline. However, Vincke clarified that AI serves strictly as a tool for developers to manage data and backend processes—not as a substitute for the artists who define the game's visual identity. This approach keeps the studio's reputation for high-quality, hand-crafted RPG experiences intact.
