AI is transforming localization and QA pipelines, but not in the way many studios assume.

In this candid interview, Mike Kim, Business Development & Localization Director at Kong Studios, explores how automation has shifted the value of localization, why compressing validation windows creates hidden risk, and what foundations must exist before AI can truly improve quality.

Rather than focusing on tools, this conversation addresses something far more important: governance, oversight, and the structural maturity required to ship globally without accumulating quality debt.

If your studio is accelerating production while experimenting with AI, this is essential reading.

• Why AI reduces mechanical effort but increases the need for editorial oversight
• The hidden risks studios create when they shorten QA and Localization timelines
• What foundations must exist before AI can genuinely improve quality

Download this exclusive interview to understand how to protect your quality window, avoid systemic risk, and ensure automation strengthens, rather than weakens, your global launch strategy.

Studios are moving faster than ever, and when deadlines are tight, cultural missteps can slip through the cracks. A single mistake can spark player backlash, derail a feature, or trigger a messy last-minute rewrite.

That’s exactly why Denis Ivanov, Project Manager at UAB Belka Games LT, decided to rethink how cultural guidance fits into everyday development. His solution? Build an AI-powered Culturalisation Assistant right into the team’s Slack channel – giving anyone working on content instant, dependable answers without waiting on reviews or chasing experts.

What started as a simple idea quickly became something much bigger: a smarter, faster way for teams to create content that feels respectful, informed, and player-ready from the start.

Download the case study to learn more about:

• 🧠 Instant cultural clarity: An AI assistant trained on 95+ internal culturalization articles – delivering quick, source-linked guidance directly in Slack.
• 🛠️ The real build story: A behind-the-scenes look at the process: dataset design, accuracy safeguards, query handling, escalation to experts, and the practical challenges of bringing the tool to life.
• 📈 Impact that actually shows up in development: Fewer cultural bugs, fewer rushed fixes, and smoother collaboration between writers, developers, and localization teams.
• 🚀 A look at what’s next: How Belka Games plans to expand the assistant’s capabilities – and why this approach is quickly becoming essential for teams operating in multiple markets.

If your studio is serious about creating content that lands well everywhere, this case study is packed with insights you can utilise today – download now!

The gaming industry is a vast, ever-evolving universe, where innovation, technology, and player expectations are shifting at warp speed. To stay ahead, you need more than just technical skills, you need resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of what makes games truly exceptional.

Our content bundle contains the interviews from Marina Ilari (CEO, Terra Localizations), Damien Peter (QA Manager, Trailmix Games), Estelle Bailly (Career Coach, Games Localization Expert, Coaching With Estelle), and Kaley Hurst (Chief Revenue Officer, Side Inc), sharing game-changing insights to empower you to navigate challenges, innovate, and excel in the gaming industry.

AI has quite literally been a game changer for the gaming industry. Developers are benefitting from AI technologies before the games are released into markets across the globe, and once games are being played, AI is playing an increasing role in community management and support.

Download this report to learn more about:

• The utilisation of AI technologies in game development, from revolutionising processes and enhancing efficiency.
• The evolution and integration of AI through case studies from Europe, North America and APAC.
• The regulations governing AI integration across different regions.

Through comprehensive analysis and case studies, this report explores the ever-evolving landscape of the post-game development cycle, each function's interaction with AI and how it is shaping its present and future trajectories.
