Today, we're launching the Runway Game Worlds Beta.

Over the last few months, we have been working on research and products that are moving us closer toward a future where you will be able to explore any character, story or world in real time.

While generating the pixels of these experiences is one aspect of this new frontier, another is the need for novel mechanics and interfaces. From how stories unfold to how your choices affect the worlds you’re simulating.

Today’s beta release marks a first step in this direction, learn more below.

Game Worlds employs novel uses of AI for non-linear narrative experiences. Meaning every game session you play is generated in real-time with personalized stories, characters and multi-modal media generation.

In the beta, you’re able to play from a series of preset text-based games or create games of your own.

Each preset game is designed to highlight different genres and gameplay mechanics you can explore within the Game Worlds Beta.

The Last Score is a heist game that requires you to pull off a job within seemingly impossible constraints. Athena Springs is a tense mystery that requires you to search the world for answers. And The Gallic Storm is an interactive history game that challenges you to learn real history via a gamified narrative.

You can also create your own custom games exploring any idea, story, character or world you can imagine.

From standard genres and gameplay mechanics to experimental narrative experiences, custom games offer you a unique creative sandbox. Custom games are private by default, but can be made public for anyone to play or share.

Game Worlds is a step toward the next era of media. Where worlds, characters and storylines aren’t rendered, modeled or scripted, but are imagined, formed and generated as you experience them.

We believe that these interactive worlds are the next frontier. For entertainment, for education, for any experience you can imagine.

As we continue to build upon and improve our General World Models in the weeks and months to come, Game Worlds will continue to evolve alongside them, with richer visual experiences and real-time video generation.
