Square Enix Is Turning Slimes Into AI Chatbots In Dragon Quest X

Square Enix has partnered with Google to inject the tech giant's AI, Gemini, into the popular Japan-only MMO, Dragon Quest X. The partnership will see Square Enix turn one of the lovable blue slimes of the Dragon Quest universe into an AI-powered chatbot called Chatty Slimey.

The chatbot will allow players to converse with Chatty Slimey through both voice and text, with the bot responding with generated voice lines that can help guide a player through the game.

The partnership was announced at a press event over the weekend, with Square Enix and Google working together to bring this innovative feature to the game.

The use of AI in game development is becoming increasingly popular, with many game developers looking to leverage the technology to enhance gameplay and create more immersive experiences for players.

However, the use of AI in game development also raises concerns about the potential impact on the gaming industry and the role of human developers.

In a statement, Square Enix said that it is committed to using AI in a way that enhances the gaming experience for players, while also ensuring that the technology is used responsibly and in a way that complements the work of human developers.

The partnership between Square Enix and Google is a significant development in the gaming industry, and it will be interesting to see how the use of AI in game development continues to evolve in the coming years.
