Recently, the world's first full-chain AI game creation competition has fully opened global registration. Enthusiasm continues to climb, with game developers, university creative teams, digital art enthusiasts, and AI innovation talents from both domestic and international markets eagerly signing up. Guided by the Publicity and Culture Department and the Information Technology Industry Bureau of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, and hosted by OriginAI and the Hong Kong Game Developers Alliance, the event is organized by the Beijing Yizhuang AI Game OPC Community, Jingao Esports (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., and Shangyicheng (Beijing) Smart Esports Technology Co., Ltd., with cooperative support from Tencent Games Academy, the Digital Sports Research Center of Capital University of Physical Education and Sports, and the Beijing Esports Industry Development Association. Centered on the core concept of "AI-Empowered Creation, Everyone Can Create Worlds," the competition connects the complete link from creative conception to product realization, reshapes game content production methods relying on artificial intelligence technology, builds a new platform for transforming technological innovation achievements in the AI era, and serves as an important brand event for Beijing's construction as a global science and technology innovation center.
As the world's first professional competition focusing on full-chain AI-native game creation, this event overturns traditional game development models. In the past, game creation relied on professional engines, coding skills, large teams, and high R&D costs, resulting in high barriers, long cycles, and limited opportunities for newcomers. This competition leverages advanced AI technology systems to connect the entire chain of AI creative generation, intelligent scene construction, smart character interaction, automatic plot iteration, and free gameplay innovation. It facilitates creators in achieving complete transformation from idea to product, truly realizing "creativity becomes work, ideas become worlds," enabling every creator with imagination to independently complete the creation and realization of a full game project.
Registration Period: From now until September 30, 2026. Since registration opened, enthusiasm has continued to rise, attracting over 200 independent game developers, university sci-tech innovation teams, digital cultural and creative practitioners, art designers, AI technology enthusiasts, and other diverse groups from around the world. Submission themes are completely open, covering healing casual games, Chinese-style xianxia, sci-fi future, suspenseful narratives, puzzle challenges, interactive stories, innovative smart NPCs, and more. Participants are encouraged to break through conventional frameworks and explore new gameplay mechanics, interaction logic, and narrative aesthetics in the AI era.
Unlike traditional game competitions, the biggest highlight of this event lies in redefining the underlying logic of game creation. Instead of limiting creativity with technical barriers, it empowers individuals with AI tools, reducing creation costs, shortening production cycles, and unleashing original vitality—truly achieving "building platforms for creators, creating worlds for imagination." Whether professional development teams or creative newcomers with zero experience, everyone can leverage AI capabilities to achieve end-to-end autonomous creation, from inspiration conceptualization, scene building, character design, and plot arrangement to final product output.
The organizers stated that the purpose of hosting this global AI game creation competition is to discover the next generation of original game talent worldwide, promote the deep integration of AI and the game industry, and construct a new content ecosystem for AI games. The game industry is currently entering a new cycle of AI revolution, where AI-native gameplay, intelligent interaction, dynamic storytelling, and open-world generation have become core directions for future industry development. Through this public competition, the event aims to gather high-quality global creativity, incubate innovative game prototypes, reserve emerging industry talent, assist in the high-quality upgrade of Beijing's cultural, commercial, tourism, sports, and technology industries, and accelerate the implementation and transformation of technological innovation achievements in the AI field.
Registration for the competition is currently in full swing. Creators worldwide can form their own teams and register freely to participate. Throughout the event, we uphold the principles of openness, fairness, and innovation. Judges will focus on evaluating creativity, gameplay innovation, AI integration, content completeness, and artistic expression.
