As of late, we have been starting to see major companies like Microsoft begin using AI tools for future game development. The company recently revealed Muse which will assist in game creation and legacy preservation. After a few months of speculation, Activision revealed on Call of Duty’s Steam page that it uses AI for some of its in-game content.
