Ilman Shazhaev, founder of Farcana— UAE based team shooter game—shared insights today at the Global Games Show Keynote on the future of gaming. By 2025, Shazhaev predicts that AI-driven Web3 games will not only dominate the market but also incorporate complex economic systems akin to those in the real world.
In addition, Shazhaev highlighted cryptocurrency regulations that could significantly support this gaming transformation. He noted that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to appoint a pro-crypto executive to lead the SEC if re-elected could mirror progressive actions like those of the UAE, which has exempted crypto transactions from VAT. Such policies are vital for maintaining the U.S.’s competitive edge in the digital economy.
Ilman’s 2025 Web3 gaming predictions:
- AI-driven Web3 games are predicted to dominate the gaming market by 2025. The integration of AI into blockchain-based games will not only enhance gameplay but also bring new dimensions to user engagement and retention.
- Games will become movements, with players as evangelists. Players avatars powered by AI.
- The combination of digital ownership with AI will lead to the creation of new types of assets and gaming experiences. Much like the rise of internet companies in the 1990s transformed the business landscape.
