OKX Ventures, a prominent cryptocurrency and Web3 investment fund, has recently made an investment in Void Labs’ action role-playing game “Blade of God X,” which utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models trained through gameplay. The concept behind the game involves combining sophisticated AI agents with blockchain technology, enabling players to train their AI agents while immersed in the gaming experience. Despite the innovative nature of this approach, details regarding the specific AI models being trained and how gameplay contributes to this process remain unclear.
Blade of God X is an action-packed role-playing game that draws inspiration from popular Souls-like games, renowned for their challenging combat mechanics. Currently available on the Epic Game Store as an early access title, the game boasts blockchain capabilities, allowing players to engage with non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cryptocurrencies, and other Web3 features. While the game is free to download and play, accessing its blockchain-based functionalities may entail certain costs or require users to connect their digital wallets.
In terms of blockchain compatibility, the game supports Immutable X and EVM (Polygon) chains, as outlined in the FAQ section on the Epic Games Store. Players opting to leverage Blade of God X's Web3 functionality can conduct transactions and customize their gaming experience through platforms like MetaMask, GameStop, Venly, Coinbase Wallet, Magic Link, or Immutable Pass.
Since its inception, the Blade of God series has garnered significant traction, boasting over 6 million downloads to date. With the latest installment, Blade of God X, having secured $6 million in funding, Void Labs founder Tnise expressed gratitude for OKX Venture’s support, emphasizing its pivotal role in providing resources and guidance to drive innovation and enhance gaming experiences worldwide.
