OKX Ventures, a crypto and Web3 investment fund, has recently made an investment in the action role-playing game "Blade of God X," which offers early access and introduces a novel concept known as 'play ... to train.' This feature purportedly allows gamers to participate in steering the training of an artificial intelligence (AI) model through gameplay. According to a press release by OKX Ventures, this play-to-train concept not only integrates advanced AI agents with blockchain technology but also enables players to train their AI agents while engaging in gameplay.

The specifics of the AI models being trained and how gameplay contributes to this training remain unclear. Despite attempts to gather further details by reaching out to OKX Ventures and Void Labs, the developers behind the game, no response has been received as of the time of this article's publication.

Blade of God X is an action-packed role-playing game reminiscent of "Souls-like" games, renowned for their intricate action sequences. Currently available as an early access title on the Epic Game Store, the game incorporates blockchain functionality. While engagement with non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cryptocurrency, and other Web3 features is optional, those interested in accessing these features may require payment or wallet access. The game is compatible with Immutable X and EVM (Polygon) chains, as detailed in the FAQ documentation on the Epic Games Store.

Players opting to connect to the game's Web3 features gain the ability to trade and shape their gaming experiences using platforms such as MetaMask, GameStop, Venly, Coinbase Wallet, or through Magic Link or Immutable passport. According to the press release, games within the Blade of God series have amassed over six million downloads, with Blades of X securing $6 million in funding. Void Labs founder Tnise expressed gratitude for OKX Venture's support, emphasizing the partnership's role in providing resources and guidance to foster innovation and deliver exceptional gaming experiences to a global audience. Notable investors in the game include Delphi Ventures, BreederDAO, Eden Holdings, among others.
