GSC Game World calls this a first for AAA-scale video games, but it’s been done before.

DMarket’s website says that three NPCs will be available for sale and “a part of each meta human sold will go to charity.” GSC’s statement says that “the face of the real owner will be recreated in the game by using photogrammetry technology, resulting in the highest possible level of realism.” The Verge, quoting a spokesperson, said this metahuman won’t be made with Epic Games’ MetaHuman Creator tool, which launched in early access back in April. “Whether this will be a bartender, a comrade, or an enemy, the NFT owner will be there for everyone to see.” The in-game NPC will be “a part of the story and online experience,” says a listing on DMarket’s website.
