Cyberpunk 2077 recently recaptured the attention of gamers with the launch of the Phantom Liberty expansion—and with a game world steeped in AI technology that brought deceased hero Johnny Silverhand back to life as an engram, it makes sense that developer CD Projekt Red would use the technology for a similar real-life purpose as well.

What Phantom Liberty players may not know is that AI technology was used to recreate the voice of Ripperdoc character Viktor Vector, originally played by Polish voice actor Miłogost Reczek, who passed away in 2021.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) teamed with Ukraine-based AI tool developer Respeecher to recreate Reczek’s voice after receiving permission from his family, according to a report by Bloomberg.

In Cyberpunk 2077, Vektor is a “Ripperdoc,” slang for a doctor who can install or remove cyberware, and a longtime friend of the protagonist of the game. CDPR initially considered replacing the actor, according to the report, but decided instead to use artificial intelligence tech to maintain the late actor’s role in the game.
