Summary
Saber Interactive chief creative officer Tim Willits says there is no generative AI in the studio’s major licensed slate after backlash over AI disclosures on the smaller Rideshare Stimulator project. In a Gamescom interview published by IGN, Willits drew a hard line for the big licenses while describing Rideshare Stimulator as a small experiment only—not a template for partner-driven AAA work.
Willits’ lockable statement, as reported: “There is absolutely no generative AI in Space Marine 3 or Hellraiser or Stuntman or Turok or Jurassic Park, or Wick.” On how that stance sits next to Games Workshop’s public anti-generative-AI posture for its own product design and IP creation, Willits’ reported read on Space Marine 3 was simply: “We’re good.”
That clarification matters because Games Workshop has publicly barred generative AI from its own product design and IP creation pipelines. Saber’s message, as framed in the IGN interview, is that Space Marine 3 and the other named licenses are clean of generative AI, while Rideshare Stimulator remains positioned as a limited small-game experiment. Steam already discloses AI voice in Rideshare Stimulator’s Campaign, AI-written dialogue in Free Ride, and mixed human/AI radio music—disclosures that fueled the fan debate Willits was answering. Saber had also previously clashed publicly with a former Rideshare writer over ChatGPT-related claims, which is part of why the Space Marine 3 assurance was news.
