Altered Sate Machine Announces the First Ever Metaverse AI Boxing Game Muhammad Ali – The Next Legends

Altered State Machine (ASM), the leader in web3 artificial intelligence, in partnership with Muhammad Ali Enterprises and Authentic Brands Group (ABG), today unveil details surrounding ‘Muhammad Ali — The Next Legends.’ In the world’s first metaverse boxing game, thousands of unique boxers, in NFT “forms” with NFT “brains,” will train and compete in a world rooted in the historic legacy of Muhammad Ali. Users can get an early glimpse of the upcoming revolutionary play-and-earn game, follow the development journey and start their pilgrimage toward becoming ‘The G.O.A.T.’ on the newly launched website: www.thenextlegends.xyz.

‘Muhammad Ali — The Next Legends’ is part of ASM’s new long-term partnership with Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which owns Muhammad Ali Enterprises in partnership with Lonnie Ali, who is a trustee of the Muhammad Ali Family Trust. The game will be driven by ASM’s artificial intelligence protocol, while web3 creative factory Non-Fungible Labs leads the visual game and character design. This partnership is the first of many for ABG’s brands within the ASM ecosystem.

When ‘Muhammad Ali — The Next Legends’ launches, players will be able to collect unique NFT boxers powered by ASM’s artificial intelligence, train them and compete for the first time in a fully AI, web3 combat experience. Players will eventually need to unite two NFTs to play the game – an ASM Brain, which is also an NFT, with their boxer.  Utilizing “Artificial Intelligence Gyms,” a signature component of the ASM Protocol, owners will train their brain on the skills needed to win a match (i.e., agility, endurance, stance, sparring, jabs, hooks and uppercuts). Following in the footsteps of the 3-time world champion, the goal of the game will be to train and develop your boxer and win matches against other boxers to eventually become “The Next Legend.” Each 3D boxer is completely unique in both the physical character model and its mental ability. Minting dates for boxers and additional game details about the game will be revealed in the coming months.

“We are incredibly excited and honored to welcome world-renowned icon Muhammad Ali into web3,” says David McDonald, CEO of ASM. “ABG’s portfolio of world-leading brands make them the ideal partner to introduce NFT-curious consumers to the metaverse. Our Non-Fungible Intelligence powers and revolutionizes web3 gaming by allowing NFT owners to train their characters, producing limitless possibilities and interoperable use cases in the metaverse.”

“We are thrilled for fans to immerse themselves in the world of ‘Muhammad Ali — The Next Legends’,” said Marc Rosen, President, Entertainment at ABG. “ABG is delighted to kick off this unique partnership with ASM by using the strength of our brands to positively contribute to storytelling behind ASM’s innovative technology.”

“Our team is so proud to be on the cutting edge creating an entire digital world inspired by Muhammad Ali,” says Alex Smeele, CEO at Non-Fungible Labs. “The Next Legends project is a huge endeavor as we are working to ensure every single aspect and character is unique and one-of-a-kind. These boxers have distinct personalities and characteristics and it’s been an adventure for our team to build.”
