10 predictions for the future of games and media
Welcome to a world where creativity scales, reality blends with simulation, and tomorrow’s most beloved games won’t come from massive studios—but from passionate, nimble teams empowered by AI. In this session, we’ll explore the radical transformation underway across the gaming industry. As AI reshapes development pipelines, small teams are launching global blockbusters, defying the notion that size equals success. From Palworld and Valheim to Among Us, this is the age of the 10x developer and the 100x creator. Meanwhile, games themselves are evolving into living, breathing experiences. Non-player characters (NPCs) will know your name, remember your story, and engage in fluid, unscripted conversations that blur the line between code and consciousness. Your AI companion won’t just play beside you—it might play as you, learn your style, and continue the adventure while you’re away.
