As the curtain falls on 2023, it's time to gaze into the future of web3 gaming. While predicting the future remains uncertain, some emerging trends in the web3 gaming landscape suggest exciting developments for 2024.
Mobile Gaming Takes the Lead
Web3 gaming witnessed significant growth in 2023, but 2024 is poised to be even more monumental. A noteworthy trend is the increasing dominance of mobile gaming within the web3 sphere, boasting a surge in active user numbers. From projects like the Sweat Economy's walk-to-earn concept to game platforms such as PlayEmber and standalone titles like MotoDex and Benji Bananas, mobile gaming is diversifying its presence. Anticipate not only a proliferation of mobile games in the web3 market but also a heightened focus on mobile within desktop games as developers aim to tap into this expansive and potentially lucrative player base. Expect a rise in the quality of mobile games, with titles like Heroes of Mavia, Rogue Nation, and Fableborne dedicated to delivering top-tier mobile gaming experiences.
Web2 / Web3 Crossovers
The convergence of Web2 and Web3 gaming experiences is gaining momentum. While some games maintain separate applications for both Web2 and Web3 players, a growing trend involves building games with basic functionality catering to Web2 gamers, concealing blockchain aspects. This approach aims to attract new players while appealing to NFT owners and play-to-earn enthusiasts. Traditional Web2 gaming giants are making their mark in the Web3 space, exemplified by Zynga's Sugartown and Ubisoft's development of the Web3 game, Champions Tactics.
Founder NFTs: The Rising Stars
Founder NFTs, particularly in the gaming realm, are carving a niche for themselves. These limited edition NFTs, sold at a game's inception, generate buzz and initial income for development teams. Offering promises of airdrops, whitelists for future mints, early game access, and other perks, Founder NFTs often hold their value well. As 2024 unfolds and these games go live, development teams are delivering on promises, enhancing the value of these NFTs. This year may witness a surge in the real value of Founder NFTs, especially for projects that fulfill their commitments.
Cross-App Integrations: Unlocking NFT Potential
Cross-app integration, an exciting feature of NFTs, is gaining traction in 2024. Platforms like Pixels allow players to use avatars from various PFP projects in-game, while Alien Worlds Syndicates fund third-party developments interacting with Alien Worlds NFTs. The untapped potential lies in major brands exploring cross-app integration with NFTs. Imagine driving your Hot Wheels NFT in racing games like Revv Racer or exploring open worlds like Mega World, Upland, or SinVerse. This underutilized power of NFTs presents a vast opportunity that traditional game companies may be missing out on, inviting potential disruptors to fill the void.
