The Web3 RPG’s development team Castile and SoonChain, a gaming-focused blockchain network, have formally partnered. By integrating AIGG, a cutting-edge AI-powered game engine, into Castile’s development process, workflow is streamlined and AI-generated Web3 game creation is made possible.
AIGG makes it easier to program and speeds up creative execution by enabling developers to create games with natural language prompts. Castile’s developers can experiment with cutting-edge Web3 capabilities, automate some tasks, and improve game mechanics with this integration. The partnership suggests potential future growth within the SoonChain ecosystem, even though the announcement does not explicitly confirm cross-chain support.
SoonChain functions as a gaming-specific Layer 2 blockchain powered by AI. Its infrastructure makes blockchain-based games more effective by providing quick transactions and affordable prices. The network helps Web2 developers smoothly integrate Web3 mechanics by integrating AI tools that automate game production.
Key features of SoonChain include:
The SoonChain testnet launched in January 2025, with an upgraded Testnet 2.0 expected in Q2 2025. The project aims to launch its mainnet in Q3 2025, introducing AI tools, DePIN integration, and the foundation of its gaming ecosystem. By Q4 2025, SoonChain plans to deploy over 100 games and expand AIGG Engine capabilities.
Castile is an idle RPG with roguelike elements that takes place in the Cthulhu realm. In order to navigate 3D worlds and participate in chaotic, strategy-based fights, players assemble groups of distinct heroes. Characters can be enhanced over time to take on increasingly difficult tasks, and each hero has unique skills.
Playtests are accessible on the official website for iOS and Android, even though the game has not yet been formally released. Players received $CAST tokens during the Castile Beta Test in September 2024. Launched in early 2025, the Castile Pioneer Season was a 30-day competition with a prize fund of $20 million in $CAST.
Castile is poised to push the limits of AI-enhanced Web3 gaming using SoonChain’s AI tools and blockchain infrastructure, offering developers and players alike an exciting future.
