Activision has acknowledged using AI to create zombie images in the loading screens of the game Call of Duty Black Ops 6, after fans had long been skeptical. The issue of AI-generated images has been a major critique in the gaming industry, valuing human-created content while facing ongoing controversies. In the case of Black Ops 6, it occurred in the zombie mode present in every Call of Duty installment, with the game’s loading screen featuring zombies in Santa Claus suits for the Christmas season of late 2024, measuring 6 inches tall. Following the scrutiny of these 6-inch zombies, fans have delved into the game to identify other parts that seem to be AI-generated.
Activision’s official statement is currently on the Steam website, following Valve’s guidelines requiring game developers to explicitly disclose their use of AI assistance. Activision vaguely stated, “Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in game assets,” without specifying which assets are AI-generated.
