Google announced that Project Genie, its interactive world-building tool powered by Nana Banana Pro models, now integrates Google Street View imagery to generate explorable 3D environments based on real locations. The feature is limited to US locations and requires an AI Ultra subscription.

Roblox is deploying agentic features to its Assistant tool that plan, build, and test games through multi-step workflows. The enhanced Planning Mode analyzes code, asks clarifying questions, and creates editable action plans before implementation, while new AI-driven playtesting tools automatically identify and fix bugs.

Tencent has released HY-World 2.0, an open-source multi-modal world model that generates navigable 3D environments from text prompts, single images, multi-view images, or video. The model produces editable 3D assets including meshes and 3D Gaussian Splattings that can be directly imported into game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.
