Every year seems to bring new developments to the iGaming industry. Recent trends like mobile gaming have allowed gamers to play online casino games for real money, and the industry seems to be moving toward even bigger things. In 2023, game developers will be keen on harnessing the potential of emerging fields like esports and the Metaverse. Let’s look at how that may play out during the year.
The esports sector may see some slow days this year, and shrewd providers are gearing up for this by diversifying their revenue sources. Of course, the field will remain firmly rooted in competitive gaming. However, it may also grow to include content creation, merchandise, and products. There is currently an entire market of gaming creators bringing in revenue through streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube. As a result, esports’ reach may extend beyond streaming viewers to the consumers of these products and merchandise and the fans of said creators. 100 Thieves has already implemented this new model, announcing an in-house video game, increasing merchandising, launching an energy drink, and signing more content creators in the past year alone.
Most people still don’t fully understand the Metaverse and what it plans to achieve, including in the iGaming sector. However, experts guarantee that it will become more mainstream in 2023. Evidence of this in the gaming world includes the upcoming VR model release from Apple and the new Meta Quest title that recently went live. Beyond gaming, the Metaverse is also making its debut in other industries, bringing in notable brands. Great examples include the recent collaborations between Ralph Lauren and Fortnite, and Burberry and Minecraft.
Fandoms have allowed gamers to contribute to game narratives in the past, sometimes influencing spin-offs, in-game stories, and more. This year, game developers could take this contribution even further, allowing players to design their own games. A great example is the sandbox RPG Hytale in which players can write their own quest story scripts and construct buildings. Similarly, the first-person building-and-raiding title Meet Your Maker allows players to design missions and levels. It is too early to say how this relationship between players and developers will evolve, but it will be exciting to see.
Developers have been working on making NPCs more intuitive for a while, but 2023 could see their efforts enter the language arena. Creators are currently playing around with the idea of using Chatbots and generative language models to introduce evolving conversations into game environments. Essentially, you can expect to have adaptive dialogues with NPCs in open-world/RPG titles. These games will use open-source language models and further measures to ensure trustworthy talking NPCs.
AI has already carved out a place for itself in the gaming industry, recently dipping its toes in game production. For example, EA recently used machine learning to improve the real-time animation of its most recent FIFA titles. 2023 may see more game developers follow suit and use AI tools to produce design ideas. High on Life recently enlivened its environments using art generated through Midjourney. If this trend continues, AI game development could take root in the industry.
Last year, Netflix notified its shareholders that it would add 55 new names to its game catalog. Riot Games, the developer behind Arcane, were one of the beneficiaries of this move. Their Netflix animated series set in the League of Legends world launched to universal acclaim, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program. Subsequently, industry experts are predicting an increased investment and production of game adaptations. You can look forward to a Gears of War film and animated series.
2022 was a great year for the iGaming industry, complete with the full implementation of AI in gaming systems and the further development of VR, among other things. Going into 2023, some sectors that got a start in 2022 will be looking to grow their influence, attract more fans, and become more mainstream. It should be exciting to see.

Movie Games S.A., a games publisher listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange, has officially announced the game Sports: Renovations. The game is produced by Goat Gamez S.A., a company founded by Movie Games and Robert Lewandowski. The announcement will be accompanied by a trailer featuring Robert Lewandowski and a page on the Steam platform.
Sports: Renovations is a first-person simulator in which the player takes on the role of the person responsible for renovating deteriorating sports facilities and restoring them to their former glory. The player’s task is to raise the money needed to renovate a basketball court in their hometown by carrying out other renovation tasks.
The player will be responsible for the entire renovation process – from collecting and disposing of rubbish, to painting the walls, assembling the sports instruments and furnishing the interior. The player will learn how such facilities are built and will have the opportunity to assemble, for example, a boxing ring, a climbing wall or a turf, as well as paint the ice of a hockey stadium. For each completed task, the player will receive a ‘souvenir’, a kind of trophy, which they can place in a special room in their headquarters. The headquarters can also be upgraded. By unlocking new rooms, the player will gain new benefits or gain access to side missions.
– We are extremely proud of this project – says dr. Piotr Kubinski, CEO of Goat Gamez. – Each level has been thought out down to the smallest detail. There is a unique story associated with each sports facility, which the player, like a detective, puts together while renovating the building. Everything the player comes across during a mission, from the tattered posters on the walls to the flyers and letters scattered on a desk, is relevant to the game’s plot.
– We are delighted to have the support of Robert Lewandowski, Poland’s most famous footballer and co-founder of Goat Gamez. He has expressed his interest in Sports: Renovations and intends to personally promote the game – comments Piotr Gnyp, CMO of Movie Games.
The release of Sports: Renovations on PC is tentatively scheduled for 2023, but the final date will be influenced by production and marketing considerations
