The director of the VK company announced the launch of the development of its own open source game engine, in which it is planned to invest 1 billion rubles. The first beta version of the engine is expected in 2024, after which the process of finalizing and adapting the platform, as well as creating server solutions, will begin. A full release is planned for 2025. Details about the project have not yet been specified.
