With toolkits already available for game devs to meld AI into NPCs, Animoca Brands’ co-founder thinks more intelligent nonplayer characters will start to show up in 2024.
Nonplayer characters in games, known as “NPCs,” could one day be completely powered by artificial intelligence and even be made to “live forever” on the blockchain and in multiple games.
The prediction was made by Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu, who also admitted such a feat would likely be years away. That being said, Siu believes that players will see “inklings” of this technology in 2024.
“Games will start building experiences specifically around interacting with NPCs,” Siu told Cointelegraph.
