Influential Japanese gaming firm Sega has declared that it will create its first blockchain-based game.
The project will be based on the Sangokushi Taisen series, a well-known strategy arcade game in Japan, and will be developed by another gaming business, Double Jump Tokyo.
The Sangokushi Taisen series includes a number of titles that let users use digital playing cards on a digital 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.
However, none of the businesses have yet to specify how these blockchain components will be incorporated into the gameplay.
Double Jump Tokyo also disclosed that Oasys, a Japanese gaming initiative, will serve as the game’s vehicle for the blockchain component. Blockchain project Oasys seeks to be scalable enough to handle many participants using its services at once. With this and future releases, the business intends to break into the AAA game scene.
Other entertainment giants like Bandai Namco, Sega, Jump Crypto, and Square Enix became validators of the chain. Oasys is actively researching the launch of blockchain games using this technology.
