'''Infinity Engine''' is a [[game engine]] which allows the creation of [[Isometric projection|isometric]] [[role-playing video games]]. It was originally developed by [[BioWare]] for a prototype [[real-time strategy]] game codenamed ''Battleground Infinity'', which was ultimately re-engineered to become 1998's ''[[Baldur's Gate (video game)|Baldur's Gate]]''. The engine would serve as the cancelled ''Battleground Infinity's'' [[namesake]]. BioWare utilized it again in several [[Baldur's Gate|subsequent installments]] of the series and also licensed the engine to [[Interplay Entertainment|Interplay]]'s [[Black Isle Studios]] to create ''[[Icewind Dale]]'' and ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''.<ref>{{cite book|title=BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development|publisher=[[Dark Horse Comics]]|___location=United States|year=2020|isbn=9781506718804|page=27|quote=Baldur's Gate was the first game re-leased using BioWare's Infinity engine, named for Baldur's Gate's predecessor: the unreleased Battleground: Infinity.
