Wemade’s subsidiary This Means War, led by CEO Choi Chang Ki, has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop an AI-driven combat analysis system for its upcoming first-person shooter "Black Vultures: Prey of Greed." This announcement follows the game's official title confirmation, which was previously known under the working title "This Means War."

"Black Vultures: Prey of Greed" is set in a world where prolonged modern warfare has led soldiers to fight for survival and wealth. The game, built with Unreal Engine 5, boasts hyper-realistic visuals, intense psychological warfare between three opposing factions, and a uniquely designed respawn system that enhances immersion. The game is scheduled to enter closed beta testing (CBT) on Steam later this year.

A major innovation in the game is "Viper," an AI-powered combat analysis system developed in partnership with NVIDIA. This system integrates NVIDIA’s ACE (Avatar Cloud Engine), an AI-driven voice and dialogue technology, to enhance real-time battle analysis. Utilizing tactical cameras, headsets, and drones, Viper provides players with real-time intelligence on enemy positions, battlefield threats, and optimal movement routes.

The official trailer for "Black Vultures: Prey of Greed" was released on March 13 via NVIDIA’s website and social media channels, as well as on Wemade’s official YouTube channel.

Wemade has recently introduced "Infinity Play" as its next-generation game development initiative, aiming to integrate its expertise with blockchain, AI, and other emerging technologies. Through this approach, Wemade seeks to break the boundaries between gaming and reality, offering players a new level of immersive and interactive experiences. This initiative also envisions a player-driven ecosystem, where users actively participate as creators within the game world.
