In “A New Year’s Letter from the President” shared via the Square Enix website, Square Enix President and Representative Director Takashi Kiryu shared a few thoughts about the company’s 2023 decisions and 2024 plans. Somewhat surprisingly, much of the letter focused on Square Enix’s investments in (and intended applications of) generative AI technology.
“Artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential implications had for some time largely been subjects of academic debate,” explains Kiryu. “However, the introduction of ChatGPT, which allows anyone to easily produce writing or translations or to engage in text-based dialogue, sparked the rapid spread of generative AIs. Its release made it apparent that the applicability of generative AI was by no means limited to text, and the subsequent months saw a quick succession of launches of new services and content that expanded generative AI into a variety of domains with close ties to digital entertainment, including images,...

Marvel’s Avengers‘ disappointing commercial performance since launch back in September has become something of a hot topic as of late.
Following on from the worrying news that concurrent players for the superpowered action-adventure have sunk to an all-time low on Valve’s Steam platform, analyst projections have further solidified suspicions that Crystal Dynamics’ most ambitious creation to date is in a spot of trouble, to say the least. While a cause for the colossal drop has yet to be officially stated, the consensus among players, both current and former, appears to be one of boredom born from a lack of endgame content.
As confirmed by Square president Yosuke Matsuda in the publisher’s latest HD Games financial results, Marvel’s Avengers‘ poor sales, as predicted, have led to an estimated ¥7 billion loss (roughly $67 million Usd) for the company. Interestingly, Matsuda reveals in response to investor questions that had the...

Square Enix showed off a very stealthy Lara Croft during its E3 2018 presentation on Monday.
In the upcoming “Shadow of the Tomb Raider,” Lara will “become one with the jungle,” according to Eidos Montreal senior game director Daniel Chayer-Bisson. During the brief gameplay video, she takes down enemies in a variety of sneaky ways, including swooping down on a rope. So, she’s basically morphing into Batman. Chayer-Bisson said Lara will have a variety of new moves, including grappling, wall running, and 360 degree swimming, which means there will be underwater areas to explore and plunder.
The hub world is the biggest Eidos Montreal has created for any “Tomb Raider” game, and it includes a large hidden city, Chayer-Bisson said. Of course, there will also be plenty of tombs and they’ll be deadlier than ever.
“Tomb Raider” is an important IP for Square Enix. The 2013 and 2015 reboots have sold over 18 million copies combined,...
