   Sega pulls Total War: Shogun 2 remaster after AI-upscaled art backlash

   Sega and Creative Assembly said on October 15 that they are temporarily removing Total War: Shogun 2 — Complete Edition from storefronts and reinstating the original game while they investigate the problems; people who already bought Complete Edition can still play it. The remaster drew an "Overwhelmingly Negative" rating on Steam within about two days, with players pointing to 2D art that appears to have been run through an AI upscaler — garbled details, a character's face merging with his helmet — alongside unfixed old bugs, new glitches and performance that some say is worse than the original. The companies acknowledged the release fell short of both players' and their own standards and said they are working with their development partner to find the causes and improve the game, though the AI-upscaling claim remains an inference from the artwork rather than a confirmed fact.

   Sega says it will not let AI handle game creative work

   According to DoNews citing Nikkei, Sega deputy chief commercial officer Tsuyoshi Saito said on October 6, 2026 that the company is highly cautious about using AI in game development and will never assign creative work to AI. Sega has set up a "generative AI committee" to coordinate tool development, usage guidelines and compliance reviews, with public relations and legal staff from around the world involved. The report says Sega used AI in a limited way for early research on Crazy Taxi and for the dialogue system in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, but not in core creative areas such as art production, aiming to balance efficiency with creative autonomy.
