Meet the gaming genres we'll all be addicted to next...
Shooters
The classic Shooter shows no signs of slowing down, remaining a dominant and popular format in the gaming industry. With an action-packed appeal that invites players to demonstrate reflexes and tactical awareness, this timeless genre is a vehicle for story-telling that has captured fans attention through multiple generations of games. Of course, with familiarity comes a greater need to innovate, pushing developers making shooters to create ever more immersive and realistic experiences.
Neo Berlin 2087 from Elysium Game Studios promises a highly atmospheric FPS adventure, with RPG elements in a unique setting based in a futuristic cyberpunk rendering of the famous capital city. Unrecord, from DRAMA Studios, creates a body-camera style perspective and integrates 3D photo scanning technology into Unreal Engine IV to create almost unsettling levels of realism.
Studios who can perfectly balance fine-tuned game mechanics with impressive visual world-building will have a chance at reaping huge rewards, with the market for First-Person Shooters alone totalling $150 billion. Who knows, perhaps some of our network are working on the next household name video game as we speak. Let’s lock and load!
Whether you’re making the next great ghost-story or tomorrow’s hottest multiplayer shooter, it has never been more important to cultivate a community around your game. Studios big and small are having standout success with influencer campaigns that provide social proof and establish familiarity in a way that resonates authentically with fans. In doing so, every great game can find the audience it deserves.
