Former Epic director is building a European rival to the Unreal and Unity game engines — 'The Immense Engine' dev sees opportunity for AI agents to 'do the work of ten or fifteen people'

Arjan Brussee, a former Epic Games director, is developing a European game engine called The Immense Engine to rival Unreal and Unity. This engine is intended to be fully European-hosted and compliant with European regulations. Brussee sees potential for the engine in defense and logistics simulations. He also emphasizes the importance of AI in game development, suggesting that AI agents could perform the work of multiple people. The Immense Engine is already in development with a focus on practical 3D world representations.
