Sega’s Shuji Utsumi Enthused About Blockchain Gaming and NFTs as Industry Eyes Crypto Adoption

While Utsumi recognizes Sega’s nascent involvement in blockchain gaming, he sees the collaboration with Double Jump.Tokyo as a golden opportunity. The aim is not only to rekindle the Sangokushi Taisen IP but also to dive deep into the potentialities of blockchain-centric games. Sega’s contribution will include in-game assets, granting them a firsthand look at blockchain game development.

Tackling the Complexities of Crypto in Games Utsumi touched upon the hurdles crypto games encounter, especially the intricacies of incorporating crypto wallets.

Nevertheless, he appears particularly intrigued by how NFTs can emulate the genuine feeling of card ownership. This indicates that the inherent challenges of the crypto realm might be a worthy venture.

Embracing forward-looking technologies and pioneering business models remains at the heart of Sega’s ethos. Through its strategic alliance with Double Jump.Tokyo, Sega seeks to tap into the vast Asian gaming demographic, envisioning mutual benefits for both entities.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how NFTs can authentically capture the feeling of owning a card,” Utsumi added.

In related developments, Animoca Brands, a significant force in the crypto gaming domain, has unveiled its intention to debut a metaverse ecosystem token on the Bitcoin (BTC) network.

This past September, the brand indicated that the token’s creation would be orchestrated through the Ordinals protocol by Darewise Entertainment, an offshoot of Animoca Brands. The vision for Darewise Entertainment, also recognized as Life Beyond Studios, is to carve out a metaverse ecosystem revolving around Bitcoin Ordinals.
