Krafton Confirms Project Windless Avoids Generative AI in Content Creation
Krafton has officially confirmed that their upcoming title, Project Windless, will not utilize generative AI for content creation or narrative elements. This announcement followed the game’s debut trailer at the PlayStation State of Play event.
About Project Windless
Project Windless is an open-world game designed exclusively for the PlayStation 5. It is inspired by “The Bird That Drinks Tears,” a revered series of South Korean high fantasy novels. The game’s development is led by a team in Montreal, which emphasizes traditional craftsmanship in game design.

A representative stated, “The team primarily uses AI internally during exploratory phases.” This approach is aimed at enhancing efficiency during development without compromising the creative process.
