Ethereum (ETH)-based games developer Illuvium (ILV) just announced that it is joining hands with Virtuals Protocol, a platform that allows users to create their own artificial intelligence (AI) agents that are capable of performing tasks autonomously.

In a series of posts on social media platform X, Illuvium says the partnership will allow it to tap on Virtuals’ GAME Framework, the protocol’s decision-making engine that enables AI agents to autonomously execute actions based on provided information.

“We’re leveraging http://Virtuals.io’s modular framework to create autonomous, decision-making NPCs (non-playable characters) that enhance gameplay and interactions.”

Illuvium is optimistic that the collaboration will place it at the forefront of AI innovation as it anticipates improvements in its NPCs.

“Imagine AI-driven strategies, autonomous NPCs, and personalized player experiences – all within your favorite games…

With unparalleled decision-making capabilities, modularity, and scalability, we can focus on crafting immersive gameplay while http://Virtuals.io handles the complex AI infrastructure.”

Illuvium says players will see the AI innovations in the games Enhancing Overworld, Arena and Illuvium Zero.

Virtuals says its GAME framework will power virtual worlds.

“Gaming has been a core part of our thesis for AI agents from the inception of Virtuals, and we’re excited to put that plan into motion through this partnership with Illuvium. 

Unlimited choices made available to gamers, leading to emergent gameplay and infinite replayability. The world will be yours to shape as you see fit.”
