While it will be hard to see Sonic or the ‘Like a Dragon’ characters appear in blockchain-based games, some of Sega’s lesser-known titles are still licensed to create non-fungible token collections.
The video game developer Sega announced that it will leave behind its plans to create jgames based on blockchain technology. Speaking to Bloomberg, the co-director of operations for the creator of sonic the hedgehog, Shuji Utsumi, has stated that the video game giant is now wary of the technology and will cancel its plans to develop its own games based on blockchain.
“We’re looking at whether this technology is really going to take off in this industry after all. The action in play-to-earn games is boring. What’s the point if the games aren’t fun?“, he indicated.
Sega leaves the blockchain segment
While it will be hard to see Sonic or the characters from the ‘Like a Dragon’ saga appear in blockchain-based games, some of Sega’s lesser known titles are still licensed to create non-fungible token collections (NFT) and have blockchain games scheduled to be announced later this year.

Last year, Sega announced that it had signed a deal with a development studio called Double Jump Tokyo to develop blockchain games based on one of its lesser-known IPs.
The company has always been wary of the lure of blockchain gaming. When he first announced that he was entering the field, he prefaced his entry by saying that he would withdraw if “it is perceived as simply a profit motive.”
