Closed Alpha — Backed by Early Game Ventures

Published Jun 16, 2026

Tryll Engine has opened a closed alpha, as it hits a $6M valuation backed by a $600,000 pre-seed round from Early Game Ventures. Tryll Engine brings on-device AI into games, enabling developers to run AI models directly on players' hardware and create new kinds of gaming experiences. The EGV funding goes toward product development and expanding its go-to-market strategy.

Tryll is running the alpha alongside six entertainment companies, each building a showcase experience to put the engine in front of real players. Studios looking to experiment with AI-driven gameplay can now apply for the beta. The company is preparing for a public release later this year.
