Guerilla Games Co-Founder Launches European Game Engine
In a bold move to reshape the gaming landscape, Arjan Brussee, co-founder of Guerilla Games and former technical director at Epic Games, is developing a new game engine named ‘The Immense Engine’. This initiative aims to provide a European alternative to dominant American and Chinese game engines like Unreal and Unity, emphasizing compliance with European regulations and hosting.
Brussee’s vision extends beyond gaming; he sees potential applications in 3D simulations for sectors such as defense and logistics. He argues that current engines are outdated, designed for mouse-driven interfaces, and advocates for a new approach that fully integrates AI, allowing developers to work more efficiently and creatively.
As the gaming industry evolves, the introduction of ‘The Immense Engine’ could signify a pivotal shift towards more localized and innovative game development tools. Will this engine truly revolutionize how games are made in Europe, or will it face the same challenges as its predecessors?
