Take
MCPOLIS is building AI agents into its city sim, Animoca Brands is reshuffling leadership to navigate what it calls the agentic era, and Far Worlds is rebranding once again in search of its original vision. Together these stories show Web3 gaming grappling with how to incorporate AI and agentic technology while still figuring out sustainable structures. The repeated pivots and leadership changes suggest the sector remains in an experimental phase, without settled answers on how blockchain games and AI agents should actually work together.
