In some positive gaming news, Unity is now stepping into the world of game development by creating their own games. Until now, they’ve primarily focused on their game engine, but it looks like they’re finally expanding into making games themselves.
Many developers who’ve used Unity over the years have encouraged the company to create games using their own engine and it seems they’re finally listening.
We’ll more than likely see more games created using the engine in the near future as well!
Now under new management it seems that Unity have taken this advice to heart and have finally created a game from concept to publishing, a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2 called Survival Kids.
Details from the press release:
Unity, the leading platform to create and grow games and interactive experiences, today announced it has developed a day-one release title for Nintendo Switch™ 2, Survival Kids, in close partnership with Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. (KONAMI), and built entirely on Unity 6 for Nintendo Switch 2.
The opportunity to develop Survival Kids with KONAMI has been an invaluable experience, giving us insights that will help us keep improving the performance and stability of the Unity Engine for all our customers,” said Adam Smith, VP of Unity Engine Product Management. “Testing of our own technology aligns with a recent shift in our development approach to ensure our tools are production-tested first so game developers can confidently create beautiful games that run smoothly.”
Survival Kids represents the first time Unity has designed and developed a game end-to-end in collaboration with a publisher partner.
The project enabled the Unity team to improve the performance and stability of the engine. Survival Kids uses a wide range of Unity capabilities, from core engine features like URP and Netcode, to live services like Lobby and Relay.
Survival Kids represents a landmark collaboration between KONAMI and Unity, blending classic survival gameplay with modern innovation. Introducing new co-op mechanics and multiplayer functionality, the game stays true to its roots while also evolving for today’s players.
Check out the newly released announcement trailer for more information about Survival Kids.
