How odd. After all, Guillemot points out that AI is &#8220;as big a revolution for our industry as the shift to 3D, and we have everything to lead on the front&#8221; which certainly <em>has the tenor<\/em> of something that should get us all very excited.<\/p>\n<p>Guillemot and Ubisoft have been banging the AI drum for a while now. Last year, it unveiled its AI-powered &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/ubisoft-shows-off-ai-powered-neo-npcs-at-gdc-it-could-be-the-start-of-a-fantastic-paradigm-shift-but-lets-be-honest-it-probably-wont\/\">neo-NPCs<\/a>,&#8221; promising that &#8220;each conversation between the player and an NPC&#8221; would be &#8220;unique and responsive to the players and their actions, leading to fully personalized and immersive experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, you know, a lot of stuff you&#8217;ve heard before. Guillemot returns to that well in his remarks around the earnings report. &#8220;On the player experience side,&#8221; he says, &#8220;we are continuing to make progress on groundbreaking, player-facing, generative-AI applications, building on our &#8216;neo-NPC&#8217; announcement in 2024. We&#8217;ve already advanced from prototyping to player reality, and we are looking forward to sharing more before the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:642px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.07%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Xmo6uWS7GYimpbXjEtR9kc\" name=\"kTzLmWMLiZfZ9qqhwGkEGD.jpg\" alt=\"Watch Dogs Legion\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ubisoft-says-ai-is-as-big-a-revolution-for-our-industry-as-the-shift-to-3d-its-magical-ai-npcs-are-out-of-prototyping-and-you-bet-its-got-all-our-studios-working-with-the-tech.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"642\" height=\"360\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Ubisoft)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That&#8217;s what you and I have to brace ourselves for. As for devs? &#8220;On the production side, we now have teams in all our studios and offices embracing these new technologies, and constantly exploring new use cases in programming, art, and overall game quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not since the entire corporate world began losing its mind (more than usual) over AI a few years ago have I ever personally believed the messianic language executives use about it, but comments like &#8220;as big a revolution for our industry as the shift to 3D&#8221; feel more baffling than ever, today.<\/p>\n<p>To be excruciatingly fair, with over a trillion bucks sloshing about in AI investment globally, there are very few CEOs on the planet who could afford to stand in front of their investors and not vomit up a load of AI spiel in 2025; nothing Guillemot said is enormously out of step with what other tech bosses keep saying.<\/p>\n<p>But the shine is coming off, isn&#8217;t it? Not a few days ago, Google&#8217;s Sundar Pichai copped to the fact there was a little &#8220;irrationality&#8221; in the AI goldrush, and the stock market&#8217;s been having a whale of a time as the moneymen get spooked by louder and louder talk of an AI bubble.<\/p>\n<p>Will AI ever go away completely? Well, I wouldn&#8217;t bet on it, but I also don&#8217;t think the starry-eyed language of a new industrial revolution really plays anymore. I guess you can&#8217;t blame Guillemot; maybe this speech would&#8217;ve really hit if the report hadn&#8217;t been delayed by six days.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"98cb1c75-a83c-42c3-a40e-4a4c95ca5f9f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ubisoft-says-ai-is-as-big-a-revolution-for-our-industry-as-the-shift-to-3d-its-magical-ai-npcs-are-out-of-prototyping-and-you-bet-its-got-all-our-studios-working-with-the-tech-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"98cb1c75-a83c-42c3-a40e-4a4c95ca5f9f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/ubisoft-says-ai-is-as-big-a-revolution-for-our-industry-as-the-shift-to-3d-its-magical-ai-npcs-are-out-of-prototyping-and-you-bet-its-got-all-our-studios-working-with-the-tech\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a delay and some brouhaha, Ubisoft&#8217;s H1 FY26 financial report finally took place earlier today, and turned out to be\u2026 a whole lot of nothing, really.
