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 serves as a ‘European alternative’ to the dominant American and Chinese platforms like Unreal Engine and Unity. This ambitious project, dubbed ‘The Immense Engine,’ aims to provide a fully European-hosted solution that adheres to local regulations and guidelines, addressing a significant gap in the current market.
Brussee emphasizes the growing importance of creating usable 3D worlds beyond gaming, highlighting potential applications in fields such as defense and logistics. He believes that the integration of AI into game engine development could revolutionize the industry, allowing for more efficient workflows and innovative construction principles. By leveraging AI, Brussee envisions a future where the capabilities of a small team can rival those of larger groups, fundamentally changing how games and simulations are built.
As the gaming landscape evolves, the need for diverse and regionally compliant tools becomes increasingly clear. Will Brussee’s vision for The Immense Engine reshape the future of game development in Europe and beyond? Only time will tell.
