Krafton, the South Korean gaming giant known for PUBG and the upcoming Subnautica 2, is making a bold move towards an ‘AI first’ development strategy. In a bid to streamline its operations and fully integrate artificial intelligence into its game development pipeline, the company has reportedly offered a voluntary resignation program. This program targets developers who are not enthusiastic about or comfortable with embracing AI-driven tools and workflows. The news, initially shared on Reddit’s r/artificial forum, signals a significant shift in Krafton’s approach to game creation and highlights the increasing influence of AI in the gaming industry.
