The development of Blockchain games will occupy the lead in 2025

The next article is an editorial by Daniel Shcherbakov, The co -founder of Tonton Games.

With the end of the year 2024, the web3 game industry is still at a crossroads. It is often described as the future of games, with promises of real freedom for players, it has also become a cemetery for ambition – 75 % of the projects that were launched between 2018 and 2023 to fail Within a year.

Since the industry stands at the edge of 2025, hopes are high, but it is difficult to ignore cracks. The market maintains its breath, pending this year’s statistics.

But before speculating b Web3 The next chapter of games, it is important to take a closer look at 2024 – a year that can indicate development or recession. Has the industry began to adapt and mature, or is it condemned to repeat its mistakes, which sustains its image as a high -risk gambling in the noise?

The endless course of emerging and vanishing stars

Part of the story is that 2024 has already added another chapter to the WEB3 failed game cemetery – even for those who initially seen as reliable and sustainable.

Take Dimensionsals, for example, a project that initially embraced it Nfts But he chose in the end Abandon Web3 Model completely. Or shrapnel, which was once a promising project but it has Approval of stability Its development path through internal legal battles and sudden changes. During, ILUVIUMDespite its ambitious plans to issue three interconnected games at one time, they are Struggle With the primary challenge – keep players and involve them.

This is a familiar narration of web3. Over and over, the industry has been undermined by frequently chips: uninterrupted organizational environments, dull experiences of the user, and the economic incentives that it depicted badly. In 2024, many participants in the WEB3 Games are still believed to be able to excessive drawing and weakness, with a more focus on speculative noise more than the real entertainment value.

For this reason, although the increased recognition of Blockchain’s capabilities in ownership and enthusiasm, games space risks another warning story similar to NFTS and ICOS and early game models. Without basic changes, if the projects continue to compete only in terms of acquiring the distinctive symbol and gaining the user, instead of providing playing experiences as convincing such as Assassin or World of Warcraft, this industry may be more stagnant.

On a dark and dark road, a glimmer of hope shines through

But despite its troubled history, 2024 was characterized by a potential turning point for web3 games – the year in which innovation began to violate.

Telegram has moved, for example, beyond the simple games models to make games with more complexity and depth. Examples include Drft Party, and to provide a final race experience; Durov Run, a subway browser game with a unique development-an unended operating experience, is not suspended on Telegram; CATIZEN, involve social entertainment under the title of the cat; Tons of fortified constellations, a treasure for fans of games that include endless fortified constellations full of bonuses and traps.

By combining Blockchain features in a smooth, easy -to -use and focus on the participation driven by society, the platform finally adopts what games should be: overwhelming, meaningful and attractive.

The main web2 publishers like Ubisoft and PlayStation, prove that Blockchain in games has real order and applications. Ubisoft’s Hero tactics He explained how AAA Studios can take advantage of technology to provide a real player’s ownership without compromising games.

Likewise, PlayStation’s Off the network It is a testimony on how to strengthen Blockchain from indulging and add meaningful value instead of being a way to circumvent. These are not small exploits – Ubisoft and PlayStation Signal that Blockchains are approaching the prevailing acceptance.

The most news is the institutional shift towards web3 games. Malaysian Digital Economy Foundation partnership With Carv, a new wave of government support highlights. Such initiatives indicate that even national economies believe that web3 games are not only as specialized experience but as a long -term development opportunity.

This momentum changes the narration. If web2 Gaming Giants and global toprapp and governments are ready to invest in WEB3 games and link them, she clearly realizes its unexploited capabilities. The demand is real, development is visible, and for the first time in years, the industry can really be free from the noise and failure cycle. This is not just a glimmer of hope – it’s the building blocks of a sustainable future.

The players are now wise, unfortunately for many who only came for a quick criticism

So, the games are slowly moving slowly but steadily turning from play models to play. But this transformation did not happen overnight because publishers randomly decided that the time had come for quality projects. It stems from an undeniable fact: the players have become resistant to bad experiences that depend only on the distinctive symbol drops as incentives.

The players sent a clear message: They are looking for entertainment, not the plans designed to drain their wallets or waste their time with the promises of speculation gain. Successful projects realize that convincing play, not just the distinctive symbol, should sit at the heart of their design.

Another major development is how players view Blockchain origin. Benefit now prevails. Players are no longer affected by the hollow promises of asset ownership and the intermediate operation. They ask for elements that really enhance their gaming experience – skins, characters and unique tools can be transferred that add concrete value, can be transferred between games, or negotiable with other players.

Projects that fail to adapt to these demands, which risk preparing their primary audience, are risked, with the player’s retention rates decreased day after day. This transformation highlights an important direction: players control the future of the industry and form it with their conditions, whether some of the game publishers accept it or not.

This time, the players prepare the rules of the game

Therefore, there is good news and bad news. Bad news: Web3 games remain at a crossroads, with some projects stuck between outdated games models and new designs. Good news: There are promising signs of progress.

Over the next 3-5 years, the sector’s path will be formed through the success of informal and mobile games that integrate Blockchain technology smoothly and consent. Models such as Play-To-OWN and Create-To-Eern, which are equivalent to players to enhance games and inspiration for creativity, will lead the road.

However, for most Web3 games to achieve a real parity with their Web2 counterparts, they should reach many critical features. First, you should take access to the lead center: the games must be intuitive and enjoyable, even for players who do not know the cryptocurrency.

Second, strengthening valuable partnerships with the leaders of the in force, will be necessary for credibility and broader dependence. Third, the sector must actively navigate organizational obstacles, as no level of the player’s participation can compensate for the lack of security and compliance.

More importantly, web3 games should explain why the Blockchain integration is a necessity in this new era of freedom of games. Only by achieving these goals, web3 games can fulfill their potential and appear as a strong alternative to the classic legendary stories of web2 games.
