By Mariam Ahmad 29 January 2026

At PGC, Gamesforum’s Head of Content caught up with Susan Cummings, ex-Rockstar and 2K Games exec turned co-founder of 10six Games - to talk about the studio’s ambitious AI-powered project, You vs Zombies. Their secret weapon? LLMs that let players dream up incredibly detailed, personal characters on the fly, making the apocalypse feel like it was built just for you.

Susan shares why this kind of real-time personalisation feels like a genuine leap forward for games, as well as the wild technical and cost challenges of working with fast-evolving AI tools.
