Sega has announced a partnership that will see the development of the first blockchain game using its IP.
As reported by
4Gamer, the deal with Japanese blockchain company Double Jump Tokyo will result in the development of a new game based on Sega's popular Sangokushi Taisen series.
Sangokushi Taisen is a real-time strategy game which is mostly played in Japanese arcades, and sees players collecting physical cards which they can then place on the playing area to make them appear in the game.
The new title – which will be developed by Double Jump Tokyo with Sega lending the use of its IP – will use blockchain technology, but it’s not yet been made clear as to how this will work (though it may involve using it to record the ownership of each card).
