Aniimo has announced a future NVIDIA ACE companion-interaction feature. The feature is planned for early 2027 and lets players interact with companions through natural language and voice.
The planned companion feature
The August 26 official announcement describes natural-language and voice interactions with Aniimo after launch. NVIDIA’s announcement gives an early-2027 target, after the game’s September launch.
The technical description refers to a fine-tuned Nemotron small language model running locally on the player’s GPU. Check the feature’s device requirements when it becomes available.
What was demonstrated
GamesBeat’s interview reports seeing a demonstration involving spoken instructions to companions. The feature is still planned for after launch, and the final experience may differ from the demonstration.
What about art, dialogue and voice production?
NVIDIA ACE concerns interactions with companions during play. It does not answer whether generative AI was used for the game’s art, dialogue or recorded voices.
