This is gonna make Bloodborne 2 an absolute doddle.
As reported by All About AI, in 2025 Sony was granted a patent for an AI-generated ghost player that can help you out when you’re stuck. (Sony applied for the patent in 2023; these things take time.) The patent proposes an in-game interface that accepts « natural language queries » to identify which bit of the game you’re stuck on, and then can either show you how to overcome the obstacle or take over and do it for you. I guess via possession?
The « ghost character » who provides « ghost assistance » will be based on footage of other players, presumably scraped from YouTube by AI.
