Tekken Creator Harada Wishes Xbox Series S "Wouldn't Be Released"

Katsuhiro Harada, the former director and general manager behind the Tekken series at Bandai Namco, has openly criticized the Xbox Series S, saying he wishes hardware like it "wouldn't be released."

CD Projekt Red has revealed that it used AI voice-processing technology to modify the performance of Jacek Rozenek, the Polish voice actor for Geralt of Rivia, in the upcoming Witcher 3 expansion "Songs of the Past." Rozenek, who voiced Geralt in every previous Polish-language Witcher release, suffered a stroke between the original game's launch and the new expansion, leaving his voice significantly changed. Rather than recast the iconic role, the studio partnered with an AI company to process Rozenek's newly recorded lines, restoring them to more closely resemble his pre-stroke delivery. Crucially, the process was carried out with the actor's full knowledge and consent.
