🎮 That’s a wrap on Tencent Cloud at Tokyo Game Show 2026! Thank you to all the customers, partners, developers, and industry friends who visited our booth. It was a pleasure to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new teams, exploring how AI and cloud technology can help bring great games to life—and to players around the world. Our showcase brought together solutions across game development and operations, with highlights including: 🤖 AI for creativity and productivity — Tencent Design Miora, CodeBuddy, and WorkBuddy, alongside Tencent Cloud ADP and TokenHub, showcasing new possibilities for creative workflows, coding, and AI agents. 🛡️ Game quality and security — Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) and WeTest, supporting fair play, game testing, and better player experiences. 🌐 Connected experiences and global operations — EdgeOne, game audio and video solutions, and cloud infrastructure, database, and data analytics capabilities to support reliable operations and international growth. Through demos and conversations at the booth, we explored practical ways to help gaming teams build more efficiently, operate with confidence, and reach players across markets. A warm thank-you to our customers and partners for sharing your ideas, challenges, and ambitions—and to the Tencent teams who brought the showcase to life. Let’s keep the conversation going and build what’s next in gaming, together. #TencentCloud# #TGS2026# #TokyoGameShow# #GameDevelopment# #AI# #CloudGamingSolutions#

Game development remains one of the most-requested, and most-challenging, categories on Arena. @iamwaynechi, PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University and research intern at Arena, just walked us through GameDevBench: a benchmark built from real tutorials that turns game development into verifiable, deterministic tasks. How do top frontier models perform on tasks a human beginner could complete in under an hour, and is the biggest bottleneck coding or multimodal understanding? Check out Wayne’s full talk to hear results and learn more about GameDevBench:

AI game development is exploding on Roblox: - An growing share of top games were launched in the last 90 days - Roblox MCP daily users are exploding - An increasing fraction of game development time is spent using AI - Asset uploads are shooting up In other words, people are using AI to make games, and other people are actually playing them.

A video game lawyer says anti-AI clauses are becoming standard in game development contracts. Haley MacLean, a lawyer who works with indie and AA studios, says almost all her clients now have contracts that restrict or ban generative AI. The change has happened quickly over the past year, as devs and publishers add these clauses to avoid legal risks and because many gamers hate AI-generated content. AI-created assets can be hard to prove ownership of, and if based on copyrighted material they risk infringement claims. She expects lawsuits over AI-generated game assets in coming years as companies use AI more to cut costs.

🚀 **LOOKING FOR BUILDERS | TAPEOUT GAME , DAPP** I'm working on an idea for a Game DApp built on the TapeOut ecosystem, and I'm looking for a few like-minded developers to join me in turning this idea into a real product. I have the vision, the concept, and the ambition to build something that can attract users and create real value for the TapeOut community. What I'm missing is a team of builders with coding skills, product thinking, and a genuine desire to build something long-term. 🤝 **Who I'm looking for:** - Developers with experience in Web3, DApps, or game development. - Builders interested in exploring the possibilities of developing applications on TapeOut. - People who enjoy experimenting with new ideas and are willing to grow a project together from the ground up. I don't want to build just another prototype that gets abandoned after testing. The goal is to create a Game DApp with engaging gameplay, give users a reason to keep coming back, and build something with the potential to become a meaningful part of the TapeOut ecosystem. We don't need a big team from day one. We just need the right people, a shared vision, and a genuine commitment to BUILD. If you're a developer or know someone interested in TapeOut, feel free to DM me. Let's exchange ideas, discuss roles, and explore a collaboration model that works for everyone. **Great ideas need great builders. Let's build something on TapeOut. 🔥** #TapeOut# #GameDApp# #Web3Gaming# #BuildOnTapeOut#

Sony is using AI to streamline game development at its first-party studios. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered employed PlayStation’s new AI-powered animation tool, Mockingbird. This system rapidly generates 3D facial animations from performance capture data, significantly reducing the time required for what was previously a lengthy manual process. According to SIE President Hideaki Nishino, teams at Naughty Dog and San Diego Studio have also adopted Mockingbird for their projects. A separate AI tool was used in the remaster to create highly detailed hair models. Sony describes these tools as a way to automate repetitive tasks and improve productivity

Capcom wants to turn its RE Engine into an AI-powered game development engine, imagining a future where developers “create games together with AI.” The project, called REX, is designed to use AI to help developers with things like programming, tools, graphics, sound, testing and overall production efficiency. The company is building REX on top of RE Engine, while also making some improvements open-source for AI training.

The new Opus is super impressive at Roblox game development (which should generalise into 3D tasks, but I'm yet to test more extensively) It created this ~complete fun little game with about 20% of my weekly and 15M tokens (Ultracode). Better than Astra on this. You can try it below!
