KINETIX AND OVERDARE PUT GENERATIVE AI INTO THE HANDS OF GAMERS FOR THE FIRST TIME
User-generated emotes set to revolutionize social interaction in gaming, starting with OVERDARE.
Kinetix, the generative AI startup pioneering user-generated emotes (UGE) for video games and OVERDARE, the innovative new User Generated Content (UGC) platform from South Korean publishing giant KRAFTON, today break the mold by placing the power of generative AI directly into the hands of gamers for the first time.
Enabling completely new, previously impossible user experiences, Kinetix technology has been integrated into OVERDARE to enable players to turn videos into dynamic 3D animations (also called ‘emotes’). Players can easily bring the latest TikTok trends, legendary moments from film and TV, and iconic goal celebrations directly into the game – or record themselves and use the video to generate custom emotes that authentically represent their unique personality. This deepens user engagement by going far beyond traditional customization options to offer players a new avenue to express and differentiate themselves within the gaming community.
User-generated content (UGC) is a defining trend in gaming, led by platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite, which have invested heavily to democratize game creation for users. However, most UGC has been confined to simple recombination of existing assets, offering limited scope for true creativity. By enabling all gamers to generate completely new animations with AI, Kinetix transforms them into active creators, propelling an era where gamers are not just participants, but pioneers in content creation. This creates a literally endless flow of content for games and gaming platforms at minimal cost.
While AI tooling is available to creators and developers in various game development environments to incrementally improve existing workflows, never before have gamers had the power of generative AI at their fingertips within a game. Emotes have taken the gaming world by storm since playing an integral role in the popularity of Fortnite and are now part of many titles including recent smash hit, Helldivers 2. The next step is to give users the power to generate their own emotes, and Kinetix has spent more than three years perfecting its AI emote technology, which can be used with any avatar style in any game or app.
Yassine Tahi, CEO and co-founder at Kinetix, commented: “This is more than just an innovative feature. It’s a transformative approach to gaming. Our technology allows players to generate and customize emotes on the fly, bringing a new level of personalization and social interaction to the gaming community. We’re excited to see how players in OVERDARE will use these tools and are eager to expand these capabilities to more games in the future.”
Hyungchul Park, CEO at OVERDARE, commented: “We believe that video-to-emote technology from Kinetix will be vital to boosting player retention and fostering a deeper, more personalized connection to the OVERDARE ecosystem. Players can craft personalized emotes to enhance special moments, such as game-winning ceremonies or action moves, enriching the gaming experience on the platform. We also expect players to showcase their user-generated emotes by sharing their creativity on social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube, enhancing OVERDARE’s visibility and appeal through short-form viral content.”
OVERDARE is currently in Alpha test phase on Android in five Southeast Asian markets – Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia – with plans for a full global release later this year.

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, is proud to announce its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Outlook, which found that regulators are cracking down on money laundering weaknesses with severe consequences, totaling over €36m in fines from March 2024 to March 2025 in Europe alone.
Vixio’s AML Outlook examines the challenges of complying with AML requirements in jurisdictions around the world, outlines regulators’ efforts to thwart criminal activity, and considers how payments and gambling firms can prevent being caught up in money laundering scandals.
The report found that in the last year, in the European area alone, there have been around 30 enforcement actions from regulators fining payments and e-money firms for falling short in their adherence to AML/CTF rules.
Financial institutions found to have money laundering weaknesses face profound consequences, with prosecutors and regulators alike generally unwilling to be empathetic on this matter. For example:
- In March 2025, Germany’s regulator, BaFin, fined Ratepay €25,000 over suspected money laundering.
- In February 2025, Estonia’s Money Laundering Data Bureau revoked B2BX Digital Exchange OÜ’s licence for failing to implement proper customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and risk assessments.
- The Bank of Lithuania, meanwhile, revoked Foxpay’s licence in November 2024 for systemic AML/CTF and governance failures, including fund mismanagement and conflicts of interest.
John Gidla, Head of Payments Compliance, Vixio, explains, “Although AML compliance involves significant costs for payments firms – including investment in transaction monitoring systems, customer due diligence (CDD) processes and ongoing staff training – the consequences of failure can be significant. In addition to financial penalties, failing to prevent money laundering can severely damage a firm’s reputation, leading to loss of customers, partners and investor confidence. Maintaining a strong compliance framework is crucial for preserving trust and long-term business viability.”
Until now, the EU’s AML enforcement has been more fragmented, but the EU’s new Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) could be a significant step towards addressing AML enforcement and closing gaps that criminals have been exploiting for years.
Regulatory scrutiny means that firms need to implement know your customer (KYC) procedures, monitor transactions on their systems for suspicious activity and report concerns through suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the relevant authorities.
