Artificial intelligence (AI) has moved in practically in every sector of human life. In the 21st century, the gaming industry has attained new heights. With the contribution of virtual and augmented reality, the gaming sector is enticing more gamers due to the immersive nature. Game logic design necessitates thoughtful planning and a comprehensive blueprint to being prepared, trailed by the game dynamics. But at one point, gamers will leave the existing game and move on to the next one just because of stereotype nature and a typical logic. However, with the immersion of AI (machine learning), the game gets trained by the input pattern, or in another words, pattern of players. With this, it builds the new logic which could offer an entirely new experience to the player on his return to the game next time. This study focuses primarily on the three-dimensional (3D) narrative games, and how AI could enhance the gaming experience for the players with interesting narratives, which will be updated based on the previous play-pattern of the player. Various techniques are discussed in this chapter to support the study along with some of the major futuristic approaches such as speech recognition, gesture recognition, facial expression recognition, and physical interaction with the player through the gaming console.
