We have just heard news that Turbine has inked a deal with Kynogon to use the company's unique AI engine, Kynapse, for Lord Of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar and Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach.
For those who don't know, Kynapse is an A.I. engine offered by Kynogon which allows NPCs (or Non Player Characters) to move around in any 3D dynamic world and understand their environment in an uncannily realistic way. And with this deal with major MMORPG publisher Turbine, not only will this rake in tons of cash for Kynogon, it'll also help Turbine improve their games a lot by having an intelligent AI system.
