Big Screen Gaming Summit panel on the future of game development in the web3 era, 2nd October
Why do web3 game developers implement blockchain, what are the main challenges, and how will emerging technologies change the current game format?
These are some of the questions addressed at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki, in a panel titled How can Emerging Technologies Transform the way we Develop Games?
Scheduled for Wednesday, October 2nd at 15:40 on the Big Screen Gaming Summit stage, this Future Formats session will feature industry leaders Elina Arponen from Quicksave, Alexandre Breg from Kinetix, and Joan Alavedra from Openfort, with our own Dave Bradley moderating.
The discussion will dive into why games companies are adopting technologies like blockchain, the opportunities they present, and how studios can evolve their game development processes. Key topics will include the potential for new game formats, the integration of blockchain and web3 in player economies, AI’s role in creating dynamic game worlds, and the impact of XR and VR on player immersion. The panel will also address challenges in implementing these technologies, balancing innovation with accessibility, ethics, and the changing skill requirements for development teams.
Preparing to moderate, Dave Bradley says, “This forward-looking conversation will provide insights into the future of game development and potential pathways for game-making in the web3 era.”
“Helsinki has always been at the forefront of games innovation, whether that’s mobile or blockchain, making this the perfect place to look ahead to what’s next.”
