Magicave has teamed up with generative voice pioneers ElevenLabs and actor Tom Canton to develop an AI narrator for its upcoming game, Beneath The Six.
The single and multiplayer turn-based roguelike game combines exploration, character progression, magic, and combat. Players can create unique characters using collectible digital dice with different traits.
United Kingdom-based Magicave said the collaboration with ElevenLabs has resulted in an in-game AI narrator created with Canton’s voice. Canton is known for his role as Filavandrel, King of the Elves in Netflix’s hit TV show The Witcher.
The procedural dungeon and character generation, combined with Canton’s AI narration, allows Beneath The Six to generate a new world every day, creating unique worlds for individual players to explore, curate, and challenge their friends, Magicave said.
Magicave’s creative director, Ste Curran, said in a statement, “Generative AI opens up gameplay possibilities we’re excited to explore.”
The company said it has taken steps to ensure the rights of voice actors are protected, assigning ownership of the AI voice to Canton, and then licensing it from him for use in the game but allowing him the freedom to use his AI voice in other media.
Coupling innovative procedural dungeon and character generation with Canton’s AI narration enables Beneath The Six to generate a new world every day and, ultimately, to create unique worlds for individual players to explore, curate and challenge their friends.
