The upcoming virtual pet simulator game Catly has sparked controversy regarding the use of generative AI and blockchain technology in its development and marketing. Developer SuperAuthenti has firmly denied using generative AI for its recently revealed trailer at The Game Awards, stating that the trailer was crafted without AI intervention. They further clarified that Catly is not a blockchain-based game and does not involve NFTs.

Catly is slated for release in 2025, and further clarity on its development may emerge closer to the launch date.
