Web3 Game Development

These are a few examples of the many Web3 games that exist. More publishers and game developers are quickly adding Web3 games. The recent downturn in the cryptocurrency markets may have reduced some investment in this sector. Nevertheless, many investors and VCs remain very optimistic about the potential of Web3 games.

For example, Shrapnel is a First-Person-Shooter (FPS) Web3 game that caters to fans of this particular subgenre. The game is currently in development and could add players from similar Web2 FPS games such as Call of Duty or CS:GO.

Shrapnel has attracted top-notch development talent and significant investment capital. This is because the game offers high playability as well as the ability to earn while playing. Older Web2 games such as COD and CS:GO do not offer players the opportunity to earn money or exchange tokens while playing.
