New York, NY – July 15, 2025 – Planetarium Labs today announced the official public launch of Verse8, a groundbreaking, AI-native game creation platform set to revolutionize interactive entertainment.

Further enhancing its capabilities, Verse8 incorporates the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a technology that facilitates seamless connections to a wide array of advanced AI tools for generating 3D models, music, cinematics, and more. Games created on Verse8 are published instantly, ready for immediate play.
