Gleaming Beacon: The Future of Web3 Gaming Requires the Integration of Web2 and Web3 Technological Advantages
How can players be kept actively engaged and retained during a bear market?
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsWith several GameFi projects gradually launching tests, it is foreseeable that GameFi will attract increased market attention in the second half of this year, bringing a glimmer of hope to the cold bear market.
Last month, Particle Network hosted its first "Gleaming Beacon of Crypto Winter: Web3 Games" event, inviting distinguished guests from leading Web3 gaming projects including Fusionist, Age of Dino, Matr1xfire, Blocklords, and Polkastarter Gaming. They shared insights and expertise on the current state of Web3 gaming, along with the latest trends and innovations reshaping the gaming landscape.
In the second half of the discussion, each project had the opportunity to present live game demonstrations, allowing users to witness firsthand how these projects function and gain close-up insight into significant advancements currently taking place in the Web3 gaming space.
We have compiled key takeaways from the event to share with you.
High Expectations for Games That Integrate the Strengths of Web2 and Web3
Many game teams emphasized the importance of integrating Web2 and Web3 technologies to create transformative gaming experiences and reshape the industry. While there remains room for improvement, speakers expressed strong optimism toward games that successfully combine the advantages of both Web2 and Web3.
Ike from Fusionist highlighted their commitment to high-quality gaming, aiming for AAA-level art design, mechanical modeling, scene rendering, UI design, and visual effects. The game will focus on sustainable design to ensure long-term player engagement and enhance the overall Web3 gaming experience.
Jean from Age of Dino (AOD) shared their design philosophy, stressing one key point: players can fully immerse themselves in gameplay and explore the game world even without purchasing NFTs. Their goal is to help players gradually recognize the value of NFTs as markers of virtual assets and records of in-game achievements, fostering a positive shift in perception.
Maintaining Player Engagement and Retention During Bear Markets
How can developers maintain active player engagement and retention during bear markets? This is a critical question every operator must consider.
Jean from AOD emphasized the need to leverage multiplayer cooperative scenarios—such as alliance battles and town hall fights—to strengthen social connections among players, thereby positively impacting retention rates.
Madeira from Matr1x suggested that focusing on esports and live streaming could ensure sustainable in-game spending even under harsh market conditions. Meanwhile, Nicky from Blocklords shared their community-first practices: organizing weekly events with incentives to encourage user participation and feedback. Active users receive tokens and other rewards, building strong community ties that drive continuous product improvement and player retention.
The Future of Web3 Gaming: Community Will Play a Key Role
Looking ahead, speakers stressed ongoing focus on robust game development and immersive content, while underscoring the crucial role communities will play in shaping the future of Web3 gaming—active contributions from community members will directly influence the evolution of gameplay.
Madeira from Matr1x envisioned a convergence between Web2 and Web3 games, where NFTs replace off-chain game items and DAOs manage future games.
Nicky from Blocklords believes a new relationship may emerge between users and game publishers, enabling players to become active contributors. This user-driven publishing model strengthens both the game’s economy and development, creating a win-win scenario where players hold real value in shaping a game’s success.
Ike from Fusionist firmly believes Web3 gaming has the potential to transform the industry by offering true ownership of digital assets, play-to-earn mechanics, decentralized development, and cross-game interoperability. Despite challenges such as processing efficiency and on-chain costs, technological advancements and growing awareness are expected to drive broader adoption, benefiting both players and developers.
Overall, as we gradually emerge from the depths of the crypto winter, Web3 gaming is poised to become a major force in the gaming industry, delivering innovative and immersive experiences that merge the strengths of Web2 and Web3. Stay tuned for the “Gleaming Beacon of Crypto Winter” series! We’ll continue bringing together industry experts, innovators, and visionaries to explore the latest trends and developments in the exciting world of Web3.
