Developers at Embark Studios have explained their use of generative AI for voice acting in Arc Raiders. They argue the approach spared human performers from an unmanageable number of lines. The decision addresses the scale of dialogue required in the extraction shooter.

Rationale for AI Voice Lines

Developers stated that generative AI line reads were necessary given the project's scope.
