🚀💥 2023 & Beyond: Embracing Innovations 🚀💥

In the year 2023, games had by now improved the P2E model and game-play to bind gamers and eventually new concepts like creator economy and e-sports started picking up pace. However, the intriguing part to acknowledge in this period was the sudden transformation of Web3 games from a mere revenue-generating and game play platform for gamers/ecosystems to a comprehensive game experience hub spot.

Games like My Pet Hooligan, illuvium, Star Atlas and Cross the Ages not only improved the gameplay mirroring the experience of top-notch games like Hearthstone, Legends of Runeterra, and Upland; but they also started exploring the elephant in the room, interoperability. Aurory, a free-to-play blockchain-based tactical Japanese game, has been the front runner in this category by not only improving the game play but also introducing cross-chain interoperability in gaming.

Due to this trade-off, the Web3 games, which have been criticized all these while for being an ecosystem embracing forced technical integration, started progressing towards solving the problems of Web 2 games, which have plagued their growth for years.

As a result, the swift growth and dynamic transformation that Web3 gaming withstood following multiple trials and errors have made them a force to be reckoned with while writing the script of a Web 2 to Web 3 transition and future of the game verse.

Final World

In the last three years, we have seen that Web 3 games deployed multiple models, some worked like improving game play mechanism, transparency , interoperability; while their other counterparts, like player reward models and DAOs, eventually failed. But that is not the end of the story for Web 3 gaming because we have barely scratched the surface of innovation for now.

Some of the milestones like interoperability have been scaled and game play improved, the other things which soon emerge on the platter as Web 3 matures with time. However, one thing to acknowledge nonetheless is the dynamic approach of Web 3 games in blending with the changing trends attracting some of the big names from the world of Web 2 games like Ubisoft, Square Enix, CCP, Nexon, Bandai Namco, Com2US, Sega, Konami, Atari, and NetMarble to move towards Web3 gaming to tackle their dropping revenue base and game participation.

As a result, it is not an understatement to say that acknowledging the dramatic experimentation and adaptations, the future of Web 3 games is promising when games like Monsterarra, Game of Silk and Pirate Nation demonstrate innovation attracting more of Web 2 games to think for a Web 3 gaming transition.

Hence, in the near future, we might very well see Web 2 games adapting Web 3 models where they will not just get access to new revenue models, gameplay but also a one-chain ecosystem for all games. Such a trade-off could very well trigger new revenue models to emerge like special status for XP and powers in the game redeemable for utility tokens in a different game environment, speculative, not conclusive though.
