Nexxus Makes Its First Bid at GDC 2026...This Year It Expands the Game with ‘AgentVerse’

\r
[The Financial News] Nexxus is shifting its focus from expanding individual games to building a platform-based business. Using its debut at the world’s largest game developers’ event, GDC 2026, as a springboard, the company has put forward its “AgentVerse” vision, which unifies games, AI, and blockchain. This year, it plans to go beyond simply increasing the number of on-chain games and instead concentrate on expanding an ecosystem that integrates development, operations, and economic structures.
According to Nexxus on the 1st, the company will participate in GDC 2026, to be held in March at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and present its strategy for combining games, AI, and blockchain around its on-chain game platform “CROSS.”
This will be Nexxus’s first appearance on the GDC stage. Until now, it has pursued both on-chain game onboarding and AI-based content experiments, but it has not had an opportunity to explain these efforts as a single, unified strategy. At this year’s event, under the slogan “CROSS, the gamechain,” Nexxus will reveal an overall architecture that brings together an AI-based creation platform, an AI agent–driven operating model, and blockchain economic infrastructure.
GDC, the world’s largest game developers’ conference, is not only a venue for unveiling new titles but also a place to gauge the direction of the industry. Companies that present architectures already implemented in practice—beyond mere tech demos or concept pitches—tend to attract the most attention.
Nexxus describes its participation this year as more than a simple exhibition. The company has already implemented the combination of AI agents and blockchain in the form of real services. The spectator-style AI entertainment platform MoltyRoyale and the AI competition content MoltArena are examples built on this structure. In other words, the direction of AgentVerse, as envisioned by Nexxus, is to place within a single system a flow in which AI creates content, AI agents act inside games, and the results of those activities feed into a blockchain-based economy. Rather than separating development, distribution, and payments, the company aims to bind them into one integrated stack.
Parts of this system are already running. Since its launch in February, the spectator-style AI platform MoltyRoyale has generated more than one million AI agents, accumulating interaction data. It functions not just as a content service but as a testbed for agent behavior patterns and competitive structures. The AI competition content MoltArena serves a similar purpose.
Its on-chain infrastructure is also expanding. More than 300 games have been onboarded through Verse8, an AI-based game creation platform. CROSS Forge supports token issuance and liquidity linkage, while CROSS Hub 2.0 integrates distribution, payment, and rewards. A key task for this year is to reorganize AI experimentation and blockchain infrastructure into a single platform structure, rather than treating them as separate businesses.
Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Nexxus, said, “This will be a stage where we can show the entire process in which AI creates games, AI agents play those games, and the agents then engage in economic activity on the blockchain,” adding, “It will serve as a moment to confirm that the convergence of games, AI, and blockchain has moved beyond declarations and into the execution phase.”
