Web3 gaming platform Xterio will receive $15 million from Binance Labs. Binance’s venture capital division will help integrate AI technologies.

Switzerland-based Xterio positions itself as a “free to play and own” game developer and publisher. The company combines a free-to-play gaming model with an opportunity for players to earn non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as they play their games.

Xterio will use the $15 million investment from Binance Labs to support game and technology development and explore potential artificial intelligence (AI) integration into Xterio game titles.

“The Binance Labs investment enhances our ability to launch a transformative ecosystem of tokens and quality games.”

Michael Tung, Co-Founder, Xterio

Most notably, Xterio is developing an “Artificial Intelligence Emotional Engine”, a project that aims to imbue game characters with realistic and dynamic emotional responses, enhancing player immersion. Xterio’s suite of AI tools also strives to create 2D and 3D game assets, providing developers with efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Xterio is also leveraging its AI technology to create a digital companion game called AIpal, which is set to enter closed beta later this year.
