Neural MMO is a massively multi-agent simulation environment developed by OpenAI for reinforcement learning research. It provides a persistent, procedurally generated world where thousands of agents can interact, compete, and cooperate in real time. The environment is inspired by Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs), featuring resource gathering, combat mechanics, exploration, and survival challenges. Agents learn behaviors in a shared ecosystem that supports long-term training and emergent dynamics across large populations. The project is built to test scalability in multi-agent reinforcement learning, with features such as procedurally generated terrain and configurable game mechanics. While the original release has since been succeeded by newer versions maintained outside OpenAI, it remains a landmark framework for studying large-scale agent interactions in complex environments.
