Tokyo (Commonwealth Union)_Sega, one of the most significant gaming firms with headquarters in Japan, has declared that it will create its first blockchain-based game. The project will be created by another gaming company, Double Jump Tokyo, and will be based on the Sangokushi Taisen series, a well-known arcade game in Japan.
A few of the strategy games in the Sangokushi Taisen series allow players to use virtual playing cards on a virtual playing field. The design of the game makes it easy to incorporate blockchain components, such as the tokenization of some in-game assets and the trading functionality of the cards. No company, however, has made clear how these blockchain components would be incorporated into the game’s gameplay.
The release date for the game has not yet been made public by Sega, and neither has the business revealed the existence of any associated projects.
It has been revealed that the blockchain element of the game will be transported by Oasys, a Japanese gaming project. Oasys, a blockchain project, aims to be scalable enough to manage numerous users using its services simultaneously. The company wants to enter the AAA game market with this and subsequent releases.
The traditional entertainment giants and cryptocurrency firms that support Oasys include Bandai Namco, Sega, Jump Crypto, and even Square Enix, which became a validator of the chain and is actively investigating the release of blockchain games using this technology.
Sega hasn’t been very explicit about how they feel about blockchain games or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The business stated in January that it might stop utilising these technologies if its customers think they are being used in its games as a way to make money. More recently, in April, Sega made a suggestion that its “Super Game” development approach would incorporate NFTs and metaverse components.
Other AAA gaming companies, like Ubisoft, have increased transparency by creating their own NFT markets and integrating NFT elements into games based on well-known properties. Future business plan for Square Enix heavily relies on blockchain.
