Guerilla Games Co-Founder Arjan Brussee Aims to Create a European Game Engine
Arjan Brussee, co-founder of Guerilla Games and former technical director at Epic Games, is on a mission to develop a new game engine that offers a distinctly European alternative to the dominant American and Chinese technologies like Unreal Engine and Unity. His ambitious project, dubbed ‘The Immense Engine,’ aims to create a platform that is fully European-hosted and compliant with local regulations, addressing a growing need for 3D simulations beyond just gaming.
Brussee emphasizes the importance of integrating artificial intelligence into the development of game engines, suggesting that current engines are outdated in their approach. He believes that with the right AI framework, developers can significantly enhance productivity, potentially achieving the output of ten to fifteen people with the right tools. This vision not only positions The Immense Engine as a competitor in the gaming sector but also opens doors for applications in defense and logistics, showcasing the versatility of the technology.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, the introduction of a European-centric game engine could reshape how developers approach game creation and simulation. Will Brussee’s vision pave the way for a new era in game development?
