Cyberpunk 2077's dialogue was lip-synced by AI

Cyberpunk 2077 is just a few weeks away and the action-packed RPG will launch with support for dialogue in 10 languages and subtitle options for several others. CD Projekt Red is aiming to add a deeper layer of immersion for players by using artificial intelligence to lip sync the dialogue in multiple languages. The game's lead character technical director, Mateusz Popławski, said in a presentation (via @shinobi602 on Twitter) that CDPR targeted better lip sync quality than in The Witcher 3. It wanted to do so in 10 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Mandarin and Japanese. The goal was to do all of that for every character in the open world. Because of the game's enormous scope, CDPR needed to do all of that with zero facial motion capture.
