The patent, filed with WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organization) in April 2022, describes a machine learning system that would generate dynamic in-game music tailored to individual players. Variables the system would monitor include the player's skill level, current in-game actions, pacing, interactions with NPCs, perceived mood, and quest or objective completion. Each player could theoretically hear a different musical score even in the same session. The patent was identified by games press in 2023 and attracted interest as a signal of Activision Blizzard's AI research directions. However, WIPO patent filings do not confirm that a technology is deployed or even in active development — they indicate that a company has protected a concept. No Activision Blizzard title has announced or confirmed the use of this system.
