Asia Blockchain Gaming Alliance president Kevin Shao has pinned his hopes on three upcoming blockchain games that could propel GameFi into the mainstream.
While he acknowledges these current GameFi titles are enjoyable for a lot of people, Shao says future titles should find a “balance” to accommodate different users' tastes if it wants to go mainstream.In his opinion by moving away from the “existing project lineage,” developers could start taking cues from the mainstream gaming industry and incorporate features for people who want to play “for fun,” rather than for profit.
During a presentation at a conference in Singapore, Shao highlighted three upcoming AAA titles he believes are shaping up to have the changes the GameFi industry needs — Illuvium, Phantom Galaxies, and Big Time. Illuvium is an open-world exploration, NFT creature collector and auto battler game, Phantom Galaxies is an online third-person RPG using NFTs to customize mechs, and Big Time is an RPG monster hunting action game with NFTs used to personalize weapons and clothing.
