Here’s a concept video presenting the feature. For instance, I would totally see Bitmoji for Games in Just Dance. Let’s hope that Snap will be able to expand its list of partners beyond board games and casual mobile games. Games include Super Brawl Universe from Nickelodeon and Playsoft, Uno from Mattel, Scrabble GO from Scopely and a soon-to-be-announced game from French startup Voodoo. Having said that, the initial list of partners only includes mobile games on iOS and Android. Bitmoji for Games could potentially solve that issue. The issue with console-specific avatars is that you can’t support Xbox Avatars on PlayStation consoles for instance - that could be the reason why console manufacturers have been slowly phasing out those avatars.
While this feature is reminiscent of Xbox Avatars or Nintendo’s Mii on the Wii, 3DS and Wii U, Bitmoji for Games is a cross-platform solution, from mobile games to console games and PC games. You’ll be able to play a game with you as the hero - or at least the Bitmoji representation of you. The feature was announced last year, and it looks like developers can finally take advantage of that SDK. Snap is announcing at its Snap Partner Summit that the first games that will take advantage of Bitmoji will roll out soon.
