==History==

The Infinity Engine was conceived by BioWare as the foundation for the [[real-time strategy game]], then-titled ''Battleground Infinity'', which eventually evolved into the first ''Baldur's Gate'', a [[CRPGcomputer role-playing game]].<ref name=Inf0>{{cite web|access-date=2025-08-03 |language=en |title=Infinity Engine |url=http://www.moddb.com/engines/infinity-engine}}<!-- auto-translated from Polish by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>

The graphical engine was specifically optimized for computer role-playing games.
