Roblox Advertises AI Tools That Immediately Rip Off Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

The Roblox Corporation just revealed its new “real-time, action conditioned world model,” a generative AI tool for producing interactable videos that seems to work exactly like Google’s Project Genie, which launched last week. While that one was able to rip off Mario and Zelda, the Roblox version is plagiarizing 2025’s Game of the Year.

“We see several immediate uses for our Roblox world model,” the company announced on February 5. “We will use it side-by-side text, image and video prompts as a way to launch auto-generation of immersive worlds. In Roblox Studio, a creator could walk around and use prompts to ‘paint’ a world and then convert it into a 3D representation or direct to Roblox native as a way for many people to play simultaneously.” It then proceeded to show a really ugly-looking version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as proof.

The strangest part of the entire reveal is that the world model tech that the Roblox Corporation decided to show off was actually an addendum to a completely separate reveal. The real announcement here is the impending release of their “4D generation” tech, a feature for the Cube Foundation Model that allows “creators and players to generate fully functional objects” that can be ported into Roblox, the platform its billions of users actually play on and spend money in. 

Are we supposed to pretend that isnt expedition 33 or are we selling that ai generation is theft on purpose?

The genAI world model addendum was featured in a reply made by the official Roblox X account to its 4D generation announcement, which explained that the “real-time, action conditioned world model” has been “trained on a combination of data, including proprietary Roblox 3D avatar/world interaction data.”

The “including” part of the message here is clearly attempting to do a lot of heavy lifting, because everyone immediately noticed that the “woman in a glowing cave” prompt had unmistakably used footage of Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to generate its “real-time dreaming” world.

As one user very handily pointed out in their reply, it seems to have specifically used the Flying Waters location as inspiration, as well as Maelle’s model (including her outfit). “What do @SandfallGames think about this? I wonder what you trained your model on?”

Sandfall Interactive has yet to make an official statement regarding Roblox Corporation’s world generation showcase. However, Nintendo hasn’t weighed in on Project Genie’s use of its assets and IPs either. That’s despite a drop in Nintendo’s share value on January 30 that some analysts have directly attributed to Project Genie’s release.
