Sega announces blockchain game, Sangokushi Taisen
1Sega announces blockchain game, Sangokushi Taisen.
Sega has announced a new partnership with blockchain company Double Jump Tokyo, which will reportedly work with the publisher on a new blockchain-based entry in the long-running Sangokushi Taisen series.
The news was first reported by 4Gamer and shared by VGC, with both reports being scarce on firm details.
It appears Sega will revive the Sangokushi Taisen series as part of its push into the blockchain and NFT space – which does feel like an appropriate translation of the franchise.
In the arcade version of Sangokushi Taisen, players use physical cards to load characters into the playing area of the game, much like in toys-to-life gameplay.

While the blockchain is certainly not necessary for a series like Sangokushi Taisen to work in the modern era, it’s easy to see how this functionality would be integrated, potentially via unique cards that players ‘own’ on the blockchain.
