Krafton Reorganizes Company To Prioritize AI

In October, Korean publisher Krafton said it will reposition as an "AI-first company," reorganize and invest 100 billion won (about $69.7 million) in a new GPU cluster, and its studio leads discussed AI adoption at Gamescom in August. PUBG Studios uses AI for code review and concept-art prototyping, while Inzoi integrates AI-generated 3D assets, animations and dialogue trained on internal data, prompting Early Access player backlash.
