Illuvium, an Ethereum-based gaming franchise, has partnered with Virtuals Protocol to enhance its non-playable characters (NPCs) using AI agents. This collaboration will utilize Virtuals' G.A.M.E large language model framework, which has recently gained popularity for its ease of use in creating AI agents. The integration of AI technology will be featured across Illuvium's upcoming titles: Overworld, Arena, and Zero, each representing different gaming genres.
The Overworld game is set to be the first to implement this AI technology, improving quest dynamics, storytelling, and NPC interactions. Illuvium's co-founder, Kieran Warwick, has acknowledged gameplay concerns and plans to focus on one game at a time while reducing microtransactions. Ether Mage, co-founder of Virtuals Protocol, highlighted the partnership's potential to revolutionize gaming through AI-driven experiences.
