Illuvium says the partnership with AI agent protocol Virtuals will allow its in-game NPCs to adapt quests, dialogue and challenges based on the player’s actions.
Blockchain-based gaming franchise Illuvium is set to upgrade its in-game non-playable characters (NPCs) through a new partnership with Virtuals — the protocol behind viral social AI agents on X, including AIXBT.
The collaboration will see Virtual’s G.A.M.E AI model framework power NPCs within Illuvium’s trio of games (still in beta), giving them the ability to dynamically change up dialogue, quests or challenges depending on a player’s actions.
“Imagine this: You walk into a bar. The bartender agent dreams of being the most devoted husband. In a traditional game, your options might be to buy a drink or play a song. In an agent-driven world, you could insult his wife, sparking his anger, leading him to attack you,” the team behind the Virtuals Protocol wrote in a Jan. 7 X post.
