Game Design, XR & Immersive Storytelling

Game Design, XR & Immersive Storytelling

“Designing worlds, realities, and stories that shape how we play, learn, and live.”

Game design is no longer limited to video games — it is a way of thinking that shapes how people play, learn, and interact with the world. In India, where digital adoption is skyrocketing, the principles of game mechanics, immersive storytelling, and XR (AR/VR/MR) are transforming industries from entertainment and education to healthcare, retail, and social impact.

The MDes in Game Design, XR & Immersive Storytelling at WUD equips students to design interactive experiences that are meaningful, playful, and impactful. The program blends game mechanics, narrative design, 2D/3D art, prototyping, and immersive technologies with an emphasis on ethics, inclusivity, and human-centered design. Students work on live projects across entertainment, ed-tech, healthcare, and brand engagement, graduating with the skills to create the experiences of tomorrow.

Career outcomes: Graduates find secure, well-paying careers as game designers, XR experience creators, simulation developers, ed-tech innovators, or gamification strategists. With India’s gaming and immersive media market among the fastest-growing globally, career opportunities span startups, studios, corporates, and international firms.
