Infinite Realms turns fantasy books into living, breathing game worlds with help of AI
1 min read
Summary
Start-up Infinite Realms, spun out from gaming studio Unleashed Games, wants to license popular fantasy books before turning their worlds into AI-driven video games.
Using large language models tailored to each world, the company aims to create interactive experiences for players, while also helping to bring beloved but forgotten IPs back into the spotlight.
CEO Irena Pereira said the company was aiming to “revive the book publishing industry” and make game development more affordable.
The company’s backend AI-driven engine can intake book manuscripts to create living, breathing playable worlds, which can then be licensed to other game makers.
Some authors are personal friends of Pereira’s, having sold 40m books and reached deals with Netflix, with their IPs “sitting on a shelf collecting dust for the last 20 years”.
The company wants to connect these beloved books with their original fans, as well as new generations, leveraging AI to create worlds that players can interact with.
