GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

At Gamescom, Saber Interactive’s chief content officer Tim Willits stated that no generative AI is being used in Space Marine 3 and several major licensed projects including Hellraiser, Stuntman, Turok, Jurassic Park, and the studio’s John Wick title. The studio has been experimenting with generative AI elsewhere and faces recent scrutiny over its Rideshare Stimulator project. Willits framed the use of AI as experimental, naming Rideshare as a test case to evaluate player reaction. The statement clarifies which high-profile Saber titles will remain free of generative AI for now.

• What happened: Tim Willits, Saber Interactive’s chief content officer, said that Space Marine 3 and several major licensed games (Hellraiser, Stuntman, Turok, Jurassic Park, and Saber’s John Wick project) do not include generative AI.
• Why it matters: Saber has been experimenting with generative AI in other projects and encountered controversy around Rideshare Stimulator, so confirming these licensed titles won’t use the technology distinguishes them from the studio’s AI experiments.
• Context: The comment was made at Gamescom by Willits, who is a former id Software developer; Saber has stated it will try generative AI in other projects such as Rideshare.
• What next: Saber says it will continue experimenting with generative AI in Rideshare to see if it works and whether players like it; it is not yet confirmed whether generative AI will be adopted in any additional Saber projects beyond that test.
