COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Games Central Tech recently made its gamescom debut as a unified brand. Together with Motus AI, GIGA, MagicDawn, ACE, GVoice and WeTest, it presented a proprietary technology portfolio covering game content production, gameplay experiences and long-term live operations at gamescom dev and gamescom.

The showcase highlighted Tencent Games’ continued exploration of how AI can become part of real-world development workflows and create sustained value across industrial-scale production, complex interaction and long-term operations.

This approach was also reflected in four technical sessions for game developers worldwide: “Breathing Life into Geometry 2.0: Advancing the Unified AI Pipeline for 3D Character Animation,” “Building Autonomous AI Agents for FPS Battlefields,” “Lighting Up Roco Kingdom: Best Practices for High-Performance Global Illumination,” and “From Scripts to AI Agents: Scalable Autonomous Testing for Complex Games.” Together, the sessions and on-site demonstrations showed an industry shift from evaluating individual tools to developing technologies that can integrate into workflows and become stable, reusable production capabilities.

Motus focuses on the intelligent creation of digital characters and represents this shift from isolated capabilities to an integrated production system. Powered by Tencent Games’ proprietary family of generative animation foundation models, it connects the character animation pipeline through AI-native capabilities including rigging, intelligent skinning, motion generation, motion refinement and real-time character interaction. Its technologies have been deployed across multiple games.

Beyond content production, Tencent Games GIGA treats games and virtual worlds as research environments for general-purpose agents. Through general visual decision-making, language-action alignment and real-time competitive decision-making, GIGA is advancing foundation models from “understanding context” to “taking action in dynamic environments.”

These intelligent characters and agents also require virtual worlds that are convincing and stable. Built on advanced rendering technologies and integrated with AI and cloud computing, MagicDawn addresses performance optimization, high-fidelity visual presentation and immersive audio. At gamescom, MagicDawn used Roco Kingdom as a case study to show how global illumination and cross-platform adaptation helped transform a classic browser game into a 64-square-kilometer, cross-platform open-world game while maintaining consistent visual quality.

As game content and interactions become more complex, long-term fairness, communication and quality assurance are equally essential. Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) showcased mobile and PC game security capabilities covering anti-cheat protection, game and client hardening, in-game economic risk management and game threat intelligence. GVoice provides low-latency, highly reliable voice communication through AI noise reduction, a proprietary AI codec and real-time speech translation. WeTest Acorn AI Studio enables AI agents to experience games like real players and identify issues like testing specialists, supporting multiple genres and platforms.

Together, these capabilities represent Tencent Games Central Tech’s technology portfolio for the full game lifecycle. Rooted in long-term development and operational experience, they are evolving from point solutions into infrastructure that can integrate with workflows, support production and enable long-term operations. Building on the same project-validated foundation, Tencent Games Central Tech is also continuing its work in emerging areas including world models and real-time interactive video, while working with developers and industry partners worldwide to explore the next generation of game experiences.

Collaboration creates a new pathway for students to develop STEM, technology and future-ready skills through hands-on drone learning and competitive sports

CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sri Bestari Private School officially launched the Global Drone Arena, a purpose-built facility for drone soccer and obstacle-based flight activities. Developed in collaboration with Futurise through its National Academy for Drone Sports Excellence (AKSADRON) programme, the arena provides students with a dedicated platform for structured training and hands-on learning, while developing technical, problem-solving and future-ready skills through drone technology and competitive drone sports.

The launch was officiated by Azliza Mohd Sarif, Head Assistant Director of the Private Education Unit, School Management Sector, Selangor State Education Department, with a keynote address delivered by Azrita Abdul Kadir, Head of Ventures and Alliances of Futurise.

The Global Drone Arena is a dedicated, purpose-built facility located within Sri Bestari Private School’s campus, featuring a caged environment and specialised obstacles for drone soccer and skills-based challenges. As the training ground for the school’s Drone Hero Programme, the arena provides students with hands-on opportunities to develop their technical capabilities, teamwork, problem-solving and competitive skills, while gaining early exposure to drone technology and its wider applications.

The initiative grew from a shared vision between Futurise and Sri Bestari Private School to inspire the next generation of technology talent through hands-on learning and early exposure to emerging technologies, leading to the establishment of the Drone Hero Programme as a platform for hands-on learning in drone technology, STEM and emerging technologies. Delivered through Futurise’s AKSADRON programme, the Drone Hero Program commenced in June 2026, introducing students to the fundamentals of drone soccer through a series of structured workshops. Over the following months, students progressively developed their technical skills, teamwork, problem-solving abilities and confidence, culminating in the launch of the Global Drone Arena and their first Internal Drone Soccer Competition on 6 August 2026.

This initiative reinforces Futurise’s role in advancing technology-driven talent development through AKSADRON, which is tasked by the Government to support the development of Malaysia’s drone sports ecosystem, guided by strategic direction outlined in the National Drone Sports Strategic Roadmap (NADSAR). Based in Cyberjaya, AKSADRON operates Malaysia’s first dedicated drone sports training hub, providing a platform that connects students, athletes, enthusiasts and industry players through structured drone sports and technology programmes. The Global Drone Arena at Sri Bestari extends this ecosystem into the school environment, creating an early pathway for students to develop practical technology skills and progress from classroom exposure to structured training and competitive opportunities.

“At Futurise, we believe that building the next generation of technology talent starts by giving young people meaningful, hands-on exposure to emerging technologies. Through AKSADRON, drone sports provide an exciting and accessible entry point for students to develop technical skills, problem-solving abilities, teamwork and confidence. Our collaboration with Sri Bestari marks the first structured Drone Hero Programme with a private school and represents an important step in bringing this learning experience directly into the school environment. With more than 10,000 participants reached, over 2,000 students trained and more than 20 stakeholder organisations engaged to date through AKSADRON, we are encouraged by the growing interest among young people. We hope this partnership will inspire more schools to embrace drone technology as a platform for learning and talent development, creating pathways for students to transform their interest into skills, performance and, ultimately, opportunities within the wider technology ecosystem,” said Azrita Abdul Kadir, Head of Ventures and Alliances at Futurise.

Meanwhile, Dr. Steven Baptist, Principal of Sri Bestari Private School, said, “Introducing drone technology to our students is a natural progression of the school’s homegrown STEM and AI programme, which we launched some eight years ago. We strongly believe in learning by doing, and our students have gained valuable exposure through robotics competitions, innovation and science challenges. The introduction of drone sports, in collaboration with Futurise through AKSADRON programme, adds another exciting dimension to this learning journey. We are deeply grateful to Futurise for its invaluable support in making this initiative possible.”

For Sri Bestari Private School, where STEM is a key focus across both primary and secondary education, the Global Drone Arena represents more than a new facility. By combining elements of coding, physics, engineering, problem-solving and teamwork, drone sports provide students with an engaging and practical platform to apply STEM knowledge beyond the classroom.

With the Drone Hero Programme underway and students already progressing from structured training to competition, the collaboration demonstrates how schools, supported by industry and ecosystem partners such as Futurise, can create meaningful pathways from early technology exposure to skills development and future opportunities. Through initiatives such as this, Futurise aims to inspire and nurture the next generation of Malaysian technology talent, equipping young people with the skills, confidence and curiosity to participate in an increasingly technology-driven future.
