Games to earn money are boring, Sega discovered nearly two years after announcing a major five-year plan to develop its own blockchain games. He was spinning around Super game with multiple titles using the Microsoft Azure cloud and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). Games were supposed to be global, networked, emphasize the importance of building large communities and deliver diverse experiences.
“What’s the point if games aren’t fun?” Shuji Utsumi asks about blockchain games in an interview with Bloomberg. The Sega COO revealed that the Japanese company has for now canceled plans to create such projects in its internal studios and has no plans to lend its most famous characters and brands like Sonic or Yakuza to other blockchain creators. He is afraid of possible devaluation. But they’re not afraid to tap into their smaller franchises like Virtua Fighter.

However, Sega does not want to underestimate the future and is determined to invest in and follow this new industry. He understands that blockchain games may become more popular in the future. Unfortunately, Utsumi did not elaborate on how the Super Game would play out. A collection of multiplayer games based on Sega’s biggest brands was due out in 2026.
Sega has shown interest in blockchain technology in 2021. Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, Konami and Square Enix are also exploring the possibilities. The furthest is probably Ubisoft, which launched the platform Ubisoft Quartz with the sale of unique collectible cosmetic items and this year he came Smart collectibles, a collectible platform through which players can purchase limited edition digital “souls”. They can then be 3D printed and brought into the real world. The first digital soul is Ezio from Assassin’s Creed.
