Runway expands AI tools to video game creation

Runway, the $3 billion AI video startup backed by Meta, is now stepping into gaming.
Their new platform lets game developers create characters and environments just by typing what they want—no need for complicated design skills.
The idea is to make building games as quick and flexible as editing videos with AI.

TL;DR

Activision Blizzard is also using AI to boost creativity in gaming

Runway's CEO, Cristobal Valenzuela, says these tools could seriously speed up game development, much like how AI changed film editing.
The platform is built to handle both creative ideas and technical needs for engines like Unity and Unreal.
A few game studios are already testing it out, and big names like Activision Blizzard are also using AI to boost creativity in gaming.
