Aishi Unveils Real-Time Video Game Engine
新智元 · wechat · 2026-07-15
Aishi Technology, leveraging PixVerse, has unveiled PixVerseGame, a real-time video game engine that transitions content from "viewable" to "playable." Players simply provide rules, objectives, and worldviews, and the graphics, characters, and narratives are generated by AI in real-time during interaction. The article emphasizes that gaming serves as a hardcore proving ground for world models, requiring not just visual generation but the simultaneous maintenance of rules, feedback, character consistency, emotional progression, and interactive outcomes.
The piece also highlights a case where three women developed a 3D Otome game PV for a fast-transmigration theme in just three weeks. AI video capabilities allowed them to rapidly execute a proof of concept that would have been prohibitively expensive under traditional pipelines. The author views this as a new path where AI empowers small teams to validate ideas before committing heavy resources.
On the commercial front, Aishi Technology announced the completion of its Series C funding round, accumulating 298 million RMB. The C+ round was led by Alibaba, with follow-up investments from Wang Huiwen's family office, BlueFocus, 37Interactive Entertainment, and others. The article also mentions PixVerse's global user base, chart rankings, and its active deployments in short dramas, animations, variety show visuals, interactive movies, and brand marketing.
