Actor Ralph Ineson, known for his roles in 'Fantastic Four' and 'Nosferatu,' is set to feature in Scriptic's upcoming thriller video game. Key details about the project, revealed exclusively, offer a sneak peek into the exciting world of gaming.
In a world where AI and predictive surveillance technologies are shaping the future of law enforcement, Scriptic's latest game offers an immersive and morally complex narrative that challenges players to navigate the ethical landscape of AI-driven crime prevention.
The game, currently untitled, features renowned actor Ralph Ineson in a leading role. Ineson plays DCI Remi Saunders, a principled detective haunted by the loss of his son in a mass-casualty attack who has become a staunch believer in predictive policing.
Set five years in the future, the game is set in Britain, where a predictive policing system known as PREDICT has halved crime rates. Players will take on the role of a detective, working each case from their police surveillance console, delving into the intimate digital lives of individuals flagged by the PREDICT algorithm to decide whether the algorithm is right or wrong.
The game's story draws on forecasting research to explore how emerging AI could plausibly reshape policing and justice. It aims to tell human stories set against the realities of a rapidly changing digital world, inviting players to feel the emotional bond with Saunders in ways they haven't in a game before, blending live-action drama with the tactile thrill of investigating real-world digital lives.
Ralph Ineson's character acts as a moral guide and enigmatic partner, helping shape player decisions in a world increasingly controlled by AI and predictive surveillance technologies. Ineson saw an opportunity as an actor to evoke an internal conversation within players that makes them ponder their own intrinsic beliefs, prompting them to determine the fate of the accused, with his character as their sounding board.
The game is set to be a cross-platform title, available on Steam, consoles, and cloud. It continues Scriptic’s innovative use of live-action drama and AI-enhanced interactive storytelling, addressing real-world concerns about AI surveillance and justice systems.
Ineson's extensive voice acting work in video games, including "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" (2013), "Diablo IV" (2023), and "Final Fantasy XVI" (2023), has prepared him for this role. He is also known for his roles in popular films and TV shows such as "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," "Nosferatu" (2024), "The Northman" (2022), "The Green Knight" (2021), "The Witch" (2015), HBO's "Game of Thrones" (2012), and the BBC sitcom "The Office" (2001-2003).
The release date for the game is yet to be confirmed (TBC). The game is an original IP from Scriptic, set in a near-future Britain and exploring the controversial concept of predictive policing.
