CEO Patrick Söderlund revealed the studio is replacing AI-generated lines with actual recorded performances from actors. Strandberg stated the studio is "not in the industry of replacing actors," suggesting the shift reflects the game's financial success enabling continued actor payments.
“We are not in the industry of replacing actors, actually, I think quite the opposite. We should celebrate the performance, and we should give them more space.”
