Sony continues to be committed to AI. This time it aims for Kratos and the rest of the characters to create podcasts

Sony has made a bold move in the realm of video game technology by registering a patent that would allow players to listen to podcasts narrated by iconic PlayStation characters, such as Kratos, Ellie, or Jin Sakai. This innovative proposal, driven by generative artificial intelligence, promises to offer a personalized experience, where the content would adapt to the preferences and profile of each user, based on data such as the titles played or the trophies earned.

The patent, initially registered in 2024 and recently published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), suggests not only an informative format but a dynamic podcast that would include dialogues between characters and humorous elements aimed at the player. According to the document, the episodes could feature “news related to trophy acquisition” or software updates, thus generating content that resonates with the individual player’s experience.

Despite the excitement this idea has generated among fans, it has also sparked a debate about compensation for voice actors who could be used by generative AI. The patent does not provide clear details on how this aspect would be handled, leading to speculation within the community.

Sony claims that this podcast arises in response to the lack of exclusive and up-to-date content on gaming platforms. This is not the first time the company has ventured into the territory of AI; it has also presented patents such as Ghost Player, which will assist players in difficult sections, and a real-time censorship system.

For now, there are no concrete plans for the launch of this podcast, but the development capacity is in the hands of Sony, leaving fans waiting for possible exciting innovations in the future.
