Runway Unveils GWM Worlds 2: Real-Time Interactive World Sim at 720p/24fps With Audio
tlakomy · x · 2026-09-04
Runway shared new research on GWM Worlds 2, its latest General World Model that generates interactive real-time simulations in continuous 720p video at 24 fps with 48000 Hz audio — no game engine involved.
Key points:
- Users define the environment, subjects, visual style, physical rules and ambience of any world
- Inside, you steer via text actions addressed to any subject or the scene, plus continuous camera motion
- The world continues from each new input instead of following a fixed clip, so sessions have no preset length
- Built on its foundational audio-visual generation model, positioned as a new foundation for interactive entertainment
