GameFi firm Illuvium has announced a new partnership with Virtuals, the protocol behind viral social AI agents on X, most notably AIXBT. The collaboration with Illuvium will see Virtual’s G.A.M.E AI model framework power NPCs (non-playable characters) within Illuvium’s selection of games.
The three games from GameFi firm Illuvium are still in beta, however, the partnership with Virtuals will allow them the ability to dynamically change up dialogue, quests or challenges depending on a player’s actions.

What Is Virtual’s G.A.M.E AI Model?
In a January 7 post on X talking about its G.A.M.E AI model, the Virtuals team said, “Imagine this: You walk into a bar. The bartender agent dreams of being the most devoted husband. In a traditional game, you might 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.”
It went on to say the following; “The G.A.M.E framework will empower these transformative experiences. By granting AI agents distinct personalities, autonomy, and the ability to interact meaningfully with their environment, agents become lifelike companions rather than chatbots.”

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.

Illuvium To Use The GAME Framework In A Number Of Its Games, Including Overworld And Arena
Speaking on the collaboration, Illuvium said that the tech would be rolled out on ‘Overworld’, a third-person exploration game set on an alien planet called Illuvium. In Overworld, players, known as rangers, discover and collect creatures known as Illuvials. These creatures can be used in a separate battler game called ‘Illuvium: Arena’.
The GameFi firm went on to say that the Virtuals AI tech will be used across all three of its games, including Illuvium Zero. Zero is a base-building game in which players generate resources and skins for use in both the Overworld and Arena.
Illuvium’s CEO, Kieran Warwick said, “We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with them on this transformative framework for our up-and-coming MMO Lite.”
“Earlier this year, while pioneering Agentic NPCs in Roblox, we envisioned a future where AAA games like Illuvium could harness this technology to fuel an explosion of dynamic content,” Virtuals Protocol co-founder Ether Mage added.
AI + Gaming super cycle commencing before our eyes@illuviumio leveraging virtuals to make NPCs smarter in-game is pretty insane

Virtuals Envisions Its AI Agents Following Players Across Multiple Platforms With “Hyper Synchronous Memories”
Virtuals said AI agents can transcend individual games, remembering their interactions with a player across multiple platforms. In its X post regarding the GAME AI model, the firm said the following;
“With hyper synchronous memory, AI agents transcend individual games, becoming your enduring virtual companions. They remember their interactions with you across multiple platforms. One moment, they’re battling bosses with you in Elden Ring.
The next, they’re building shelters with you in Minecraft, or assisting with tactics and commentating during your Dota matches. These agents don’t just respond—they evolve, becoming more intimate and personal with every shared experience.”
