Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds [PUBG] helped kickstart the battle royal genre that Fortnite took to new heights. Now, the Krafton-developed title is looking to kick off an entirely new trend that will help those down a squadmate get the help they need to make it in this competitive game of skill, preparation, and survival.
During the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas this week, South Korean publisher Krafton announced that the influential battle royal shooter will be one of the first games to use Nvidia’s ACE technology. Nvidia’s ACE is a suite of generative AI tech developed for creating digital entities with discerning, reactive behaviors. For gaming, Nvidia has touted that ACE can be used to create in-game characters that allegedly behave more realistically than traditional gaming AI. Krafton will use ACE to provide players with an AI-controlled squad mate who works with and reacts to the player's dialogue like a human player would.
