Yesterday, Sony announced the "Horizon" series MMORPG "Horizon: Steel Frontier" at the Korean game show G-Star 2025, which will be launched on mobile and PC platforms (Purple).Developer NCSoft said that part of the game's development work used AI-assisted technology.

Regarding issues related to AI NPCs in the game, NCSOFT confirmed that AI has been "extensively" used throughout the development process.

"Inside the company, we are testing and leveraging the power of basic NPCs to allow players to cooperate or fight side by side in combat. Since we are playing an action role-playing game (ARPG), we can get help in many aspects, such as determining the optimal number of players, rather than blindly playing with a large number of players. In addition, we are also using artificial intelligence to assist production internally, covering every aspect from coding to art production.

This technology has been fully applied in actual development.We are using artificial intelligence extensively, and in games released after Aion 2, you will see a significant improvement in the level of AI."
