Crimson Desert Faces Scrutiny Over Suspected AI-Generated In-Game Paintings

Pearl Abyss has not responded to requests for comment.

Overview

  • Players report a mural in Oakenshield Manor in Hernand with distorted faces, headless horses, and mismatched limbs that resemble common AI glitches.
  • Reddit posts by users including Rex_Spy and Due-Perspective9206 highlight additional questionable paintings found elsewhere in the game.
  • Destructoid, Wccftech, Beebom, and Kotaku have covered the reports, and some community members contend certain images could be non-AI or placeholder art.
  • Pearl Abyss has not provided an official statement to reporters, and no patches or Steam store disclosure changes have been announced.
  • The situation invokes Valve’s 2024 Steam rule requiring disclosure of generative AI, with concerns surfacing as the game posts strong early sales and mixed reception.
