Farcana Founder Bets Big On Ai And Web3 Gaming Sees Trump's Sec Chair As Catalyst For Industry Global Games Show

Ilman Shazeav, the founder of Farcana, a UAE-based team shooter game, shared his vision for the future of gaming during the Global Games Show Keynote today. He predicts that by 2025, AI-driven Web3 games will dominate the gaming industry and feature complex economic systems similar to those found in the real world.

Shazeav also discussed how cryptocurrency regulations could play a key role in this transformation. He pointed out that if former U.S. President Donald Trump is re-elected and appoints a pro-crypto executive to lead the SEC, it could be a significant step forward, similar to the progressive policies of the UAE, which has exempted crypto transactions from VAT. Such measures, Shazeav argued, are crucial for keeping the U.S. competitive in the digital economy.

Shazeav's 2025 predictions for Web3 gaming include

AI-powered Web3 games will be at the forefront of the gaming market.

The integration of AI and blockchain technology will revolutionize gameplay and offer new ways to engage and retain players.

Gaming will evolve into a cultural movement, with players acting as passionate advocates.

AI-driven player avatars and the merging of digital ownership with AI will lead to the creation of entirely new types of assets and gaming experiences, similar to how internet companies reshaped the business world in the 1990s.
