There is a wide variety of cross-platform PC and mobile games planned for release on Xterio, and the ecosystem is expanding rapidly. Digital collectibles sold on Xterio’s online marketplace will also be a part of this system. With this funding, Xterio’s in-house game projects and those of its partners will move forward faster. To improve its Web3 distribution platform and ecosystem, Xterio promotes the development of original, high-quality intellectual properties.
Binance Labs’ long-term optimism about the Web3 gaming industry is seen in their significant investment in Xterio. Currently, the gaming company is hard at work on an AI toolset that will generate consistent 2D and 3D assets fit for production and have a “emotion engine for artificial intelligence.”
