On April 28, 2025, Giant Network's social deduction game, Space Kill, announced its official integration with Tencent's HunYuan large language model. This innovative move marks a significant step in the game industry's exploration of AI-native gameplay. Currently, Space Kill has generated over 7 million AI players using this model. These virtual players will engage in intense "intellectual battles" with the game's 200 million real users, providing players with a completely new gaming experience.
Space Kill, a beloved social deduction game, has been actively exploring AI-native gameplay in recent years and has achieved remarkable results. After integrating the Tencent HunYuan Turbo S model, the AI players in the game exhibit a high degree of intelligence and realism. According to Li Qiang, Tencent Group's Vice President and President of Enterprise Business, since integrating the HunYuan large language model, Space Kill has seen nearly 900,000 total matches, generating over 7 million AI players. This data fully demonstrates the enormous potential of AI technology in the gaming field.
The newly launched AI gameplay, "Inner Ghost Challenge," is designed based on the game's core deduction mechanics. This gameplay utilizes the AI large language model to simultaneously control eight AI players, engaging in highly realistic games against two real players. This innovative gameplay is unprecedented in the industry. With the support of AI technology, the game's strategy and fun have been significantly enhanced, allowing players to experience a more intense and exciting deduction process while interacting with AI players.
In addition to the introduction of AI players, Space Kill also plans to introduce Tencent Cloud's TTS technology (text-to-speech) into its UGC script tool, "Shark Green Theater." This technology will provide players with diverse voice support in short video creation, further enriching the game's interactivity and entertainment.
The collaboration between Space Kill and Tencent's HunYuan large language model is not only a significant breakthrough in AI application in the gaming industry but also provides new ideas and directions for the future deep integration of games and AI technology. With the continuous development of AI technology, the gaming industry is expected to see more innovative gameplay and experiences, bringing players a richer and more colorful gaming world.
