Illuvium partners with Virtuals to introduce autonomous AI NPCs to its games

PANews reported on January 8 that according to Cointelegraph, the blockchain game brand Illuvium recently announced that it would cooperate with Virtuals Protocol to upgrade the non-player characters (NPCs) in its games. Virtuals is the technology protocol behind popular AI agents on the X platform. This cooperation will use Virtual's GAME AI model framework to enable NPCs in Illuvium's three beta games to dynamically adjust dialogue, tasks or challenges based on player behavior, improving the interactivity and diversity of the game experience. For example, the Virtuals team said that the interaction between players and NPCs in the game will be more realistic. For example, players can choose to anger the bartender NPC, causing it to attack, or receive customized rewards through friendly interactions. This dynamic interaction will run through every scene of the game, creating endless story possibilities.

Illuvium said in an announcement that the technology will first be used in Overworld, a third-person exploration game set on an alien planet called Illuvium, where players (called rangers) can discover and collect called Illuvials. of creatures that can be used in another fighting game, Illuvium: Arena. The technology will also be used in all three of its games, including Illuvium Zero, a base-building game where players generate resources and craft skins for use in Overworld and Arena.
