Unity Reveals Unity 7 Roadmap at Unite Seoul
Unity announced Unity 7 at Unite Seoul, with an early beta in December and a full release targeted for Q1 2027. Built on a modernized CoreCLR and fully compatible with Unity 6 with no breaking changes, Unity 7 emphasizes AI-driven workflows, collaboration, improved onboarding and developer productivity. It boosts iteration speed—near-instant Play Mode, selective domain reloads that touch only changed code, and shader builds up to 90% faster—plus a new CLI, public APIs and a free MCP to connect coding agents and enable production work beyond the Editor. Rendering advances include Surface Cache GI for real-time global illumination and AI-assisted graphics optimization that scales from high-end PC to mobile. The release also expands monetization and commerce via Unity Vector, native direct-to-consumer in-app purchases, no-code webshops and unified catalogues.
Layer Launches AI Playable Ad Generator for Game Studios
Layer, an agentic creative platform for game studios, has launched Playables, an AI-powered feature that generates complete HTML5 playable ads within hours rather than weeks. The tool addresses the production bottleneck that limits playable ads to tier-one titles, despite them being among the highest-converting formats for user acquisition. The system accepts inputs such as game titles, prompts, creative briefs, screenshots, or gameplay capture, and produces network-ready, MRAID-compliant ad units compatible with major networks like AppLovin, Meta, TikTok, Google App Campaigns, Unity Ads, and ironSource. It supports various genres and allows marketers to modify mechanics and visuals via chat prompts. The feature is available immediately to all Layer subscribers at no extra cost. Layer's platform is already used by studios including King, Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Wildlife Studios.
