Bronislav Sviglo, Engine Director, Wargaming
Bronislav Sviglo is Engine Director at Wargaming. In 2020, he started the company's new proprietary engine from scratch and has led the team building it ever since — the engine behind World of Tanks: HEAT (May 2026, day-one release on PC, Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S) and the company's future titles. He has spent 18+ years at Wargaming (since 2008), working on World of Tanks from its earliest days: generalist, then graphics programmer, then long-time Rendering Team Lead — through the 1.0 render rewrite, the multi-core restructuring with up to 41% average FPS gain, and the enCore RT ray-traced shadows technology developed with Intel. He is a three-time GDC speaker (two sessions in 2018, one in 2020) and spoke at 4C 2017.
