Dizzaract Games is based in Abu Dhabi as the largest studio in the Middle East

Dizzaract game has officially established itself as the largest game development studio in the Middle East with 160 employees.

Based in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Dizzaract is focusing on redefining gaming by combining artificial intelligence, immersive gaming, and blockchain technology. The studio aims to lead the upcoming AI-powered Web3 game.

This is in line with the Abu Dhabi project, which was launched recently Beam Venturesa $140 million fund aimed at investing in Web3 games.

Dizzaract aims to push the boundaries of gaming through an AI-powered system that evolves
classical drama being flexible and experiential. The studio has registered patents for ‘Adaptive Machine Learning Framework for Gaming Assistance’ and ‘Personalized AI Learning and Training Framework for Gaming Systems.’ These innovations allow the game to respond quickly to player actions, making each session unique.

“2025 is the beginning of what we call the ‘AI Supercycle’ in gaming,” said Ilman Shahzaev, founder of Dizzaract Games. “We’re going beyond scripted experiences to create living worlds where AI agents change players’ decisions and emotions in real time. These changes will blur the lines between games and reality, giving you a more personal and immersive experience.”

Dizzaract’s popular game, Farcana, is a team shooter powered by Unreal Engine 5. Work began on the game in 2022, but the company remained secretive. It looks like Overwatch in terms of gaming, and Shahzaev said that he was encouraged to see the recent success of Marvel Rivals, another superhero shooter that recently left. In the seed round, Farcana raised $10 million.

The title features 24 unique characters with different roles and the combination of advanced AI, the game offers deep storytelling and immersive gameplay. As the first high-budget game in the UAE, Farcana aims to set a new benchmark for the quality of triple-A production in the region, and show the Middle East take on the famous Marvel Rivals.

In addition, the game includes a Web3 interface, giving players real ownership of the game’s content and
blockchain-powered economy.

The customization and customization of AI by Dizzaract represents a leap forward for the gaming industry. This technology enables real-time analysis of player behavior, changing gameplay, NPC interactions, difficulty levels, and even in-game resources to match each player’s unique journey. This approach drives deep engagement and keeps players grounded in what the studio describes as a “perpetual dopamine loop,” Shahzaev said.

Dizzaract’s vision goes beyond traditional gaming. With AI and Web3 integration, the studio is creating a sustainable economy where players can own their game assets and identity. The studio envisions a future where digital ownership will be permanent, and online features will become the norm in games, allowing players to transfer achievements, avatars, and assets across multiple games with ease.

“Games are more than entertainment,” Shahzaev said. “It’s changing to a culture where players are creative, decision-making, and involved. AI and Web3 are at the center of this change.”

With the launch of Dizzaract Games, the Middle East solidifies its position as an important center of technology and innovation in the gaming industry. The studio is ready to lead the way in the future where the game combines stable storytelling, strong economy, and real relevance.

Shahzaev said in an interview with GamesBeat that he made a bad decision back in 2018. He was working on a doctorate in the comfort of education, and he was interested in cryptocurrency. During the crypto crash of 2018, he decided to leave his PhD. program and focus on crypto business. It turned out to be very profitable, and then they started to support a $10 million crypto mining data center. He was also a high-profile gamer who loved esports.

All these passions came together at Dizzaract, where they are trying to create a border between Web3, games, and AI. They want Dizzaract to change the game market through modern technologies such as AI and Web3, and what it means for future game development.

Shahzaev’s vision for how AI can transform the player experience, including real-time changes in gameplay and human interaction. He predicts that by 2025, games will enter an “AI Supercycle,” with games that dynamically respond to player actions, decisions, and emotions in real time. They believe that AI agents will work within the game with both positive and negative aspects. He saw a return to AI integration and implementation, but he thinks the pros will outweigh the cons.

Shazhaev thinks that AI will play a major role in the development of Web3 games in 2025. He sees a game economy controlled by AI in which prices, resources, and events are adjusted according to the behavior of players and market conditions. He also sees the combination of digital ownership and AI as a catalyst for creating new markets for gaming and experience products, such as the rise of the Internet industry in the late 1990s.

In addition to this, Shazhaev considers the role of AIs, especially their role in managing the game’s economy. A soon report from VanECK says that more than a million new AIs will be created by the end of 2025, emphasizing their potential in various fields. According to Coingecko data, AI assistants currently represent a $11.3 billion market.

“In Web3 games, AI assistants can manage the game economy, provide real-time information and maintain strong and responsive systems. Web3 is another important factor driving this supercycle. By 2025, digital ownership will no longer be a choice – it will be a great hope,” said Shahzaev . “Players will have their own game assets and names, and transfer their achievements in the game while participating in financial markets that reflect real markets.”

For example, consider an avatar from one game that has its skills, history, and properties transferred to another, creating a digital identity. The CEO of Epic Games has previously considered connecting Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox into a connected metaverse, where digital assets can flow freely across platforms, he said.

“Unreal Engine provides a platform suitable for mass adoption as millions of players play every day. Web3 games powered by AI will dominate the market by combining immersive gameplay with stable economy,” said Shahzaev. “The sports economy, driven by AI, will be as powerful and complex as the global markets. The game will go beyond entertainment, becoming a cultural movement where players act as evangelists, AI-driven avatars acting as digital extensions.”

They believe that each player’s experience can be uniquely designed, from story to game mechanics, to create immersive journeys. This convergence of AI and Web3 will also open up new markets for products, experiences, and even professional gaming.
