Illuvium, a player in the blockchain gaming sector, has partnered with Virtuals.io, an AI-driven platform renowned for its advancements in Web3 technology. Together, they aim to introduce an innovative framework to Illuvium MMO Lite, redefining the gaming experience with dynamic and intelligent NPCs (non-playable characters).
Virtuals.io’s proprietary G.A.M.E LLM framework will power these NPCs, enabling real-time adaptation to player interactions and evolving storylines. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in integrating AI with blockchain gaming.

“From the beginning, we’ve admired Illuvium for its visionary approach to blending crypto-economics with breathtaking visuals in gaming.

Illuvium’s immersive world, combined with an Agentic NPC framework, positions it to lead the next era of gaming innovation.
