Open world games have come a long way—from the gritty streets of GTA III to the haunting beauty of Elden Ring’s Lands Between. In this debut episode of Game-Loft Cast, we trace the evolution of the open world genre, exploring how freedom, scale, and player agency transformed gaming forever. From icons like Skyrim, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Witcher 3 to the philosophies driving modern design, this is your deep dive into how open worlds were born, matured, and redefined.

Disclosure: Some part of production and editing of this podcast was assisted with the use of AI, such as filler words, making the audio more polished, enhancing speech clarity and adjusting audio levels.
