Ubisoft unveiled a new project called Neo NPCs today at GDC, offering an early look at its "first player-facing generative AI (GenAI) prototype that could transform the way players interact with non-playable characters (NPCs) in videogames."
To be clear, these Neo NPCs aren't yet ready to step into the spotlight. The GDC showcase was merely meant to show off their "potential ... to create deep connections with the player and to offer new gameplay strategies and emergent storytelling opportunities."
