Sega plans to bring "immensely popular" franchise to blockchain platform
Sonic the Hedgehog maker Sega plans to bring one of its biggest franchises to blockchain platform Game Dosi.
Operated by Korean mobile messaging firm Line Next, Game Dosi is designed to host Web3 and NFT games, with Sega now signed on via a memorandum of understanding.
It’s not clear which of Sega’s big franchises will be used, though that memorandum of understanding makes note that is an “immensely popular” brand from the Sonic publisher’s portfolio (thanks, Venturebeat).
The news comes as a surprise, so soon after Sega said last week that it was pulling back from Web3 game development itself. But that statement also noted that Sega would now look to external companies to continue any plans in this area – which Line Next is.
