KRAFTON's subsidiary, Lellu Games, announced that it showcased differentiated gaming experiences based on artificial intelligence (AI) by releasing trailers for its upcoming titles, 'Mimesis' and 'Scavenger Tom.'
'Mimesis' is a horror cooperative game set in a world where some humans have transformed into monsters that can replicate voices, actions, and memories due to an unknown rain. Players form teams to cooperate and escape, while the AI, based on reinforcement learning and small language models (SLM), creates natural behaviors and voices, making suspicion against AI enemies disguised as teammates a core element of psychological warfare.
'Scavenger Tom' is set in a scenario where humanity hides in underground bunkers after a nuclear explosion, and players control a robot, 'Tom (T.O.M.),' to gather resources and craft survival items. The exploration environment is created using image generation artificial intelligence (AI) technology, providing an immersive experience.
Both games apply AI technology collaboratively researched by the KRAFTON Deep Learning Department and Lellu Games. This collaboration is regarded as an example showcasing the potential uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the gaming sector.
Meanwhile, Lellu Games is conducting a Steam wish-listing event until the 28th of this month in line with the trailer release, offering Steam game codes through a lottery. The two new titles are set to be released in early access on the global game distribution platform Steam in the third quarter of this year.
Kim Min-jung, the head of Lellu Games, noted, "This new endeavor of producing two titles was a challenging attempt to create a new user experience by integrating AI technology into popular genres." She added, "We will continue to showcase Lellu Games' unique direction through innovative and entertaining games in the future."
