Sega has provided more context on its previously announced “Super Game” initiative. It is now confirmed that it involves multiple video game projects, but the company has also suggested that these titles could support technologies like cloud gaming and non-fungible tokens or NFTs.
The Super Game initiative was announced in late 2021, along with the announcement of Sega’s long-term partnership with Microsoft. At the time, it was unclear if Super Game was about a single high-profile video game project or a video game service. However, those questions have recently been answered after VGC found and translated an interview with Sega executives for Sega Japan’s recruitment page.
In the said interview, Sega executive vice president Shuji Utsumi said the company defined the Super Game as an initiative for the development of several AAA games that will leverage a “comprehensive range of technologies.” Utsumi also noted that projects have to be multi-platform, support multiple languages, planned for a simultaneous worldwide launch, and an AAA development to be considered a Super Game entry.
Sega general manager Katsuya Hisai confirmed that Super Game currently has “several projects” in the works. Hisai added that his department currently has 50 employees working on the “initial stages” of the game development, but he expects the staff to grow to several hundreds of members.
The company also suggested that these Super Game projects are going to be the highlights of Sega’s five-year plan. But aside from being a multi-language, global AAA development, Sega also hinted that some of these titles are likely to support cloud gaming and even NFTs.
In the same interview, Sega producer Masayoshi Kikuchi noted that the gaming history has previously expanded across different technologies like social networking. “It is a natural extension for the future of gaming that it will expand to involve new areas such as cloud gaming and NFT,” Kikuchi said. “We are also developing SuperGame from the perspective of how far different games can be connected to each other.”
That does sound like further confirmation that Sega has its sights on joining the NFT craze, just like other major video game companies such as Ubisoft and Square Enix. However, it is still unclear how NFT integration would be implemented on some, if not all, of the high-profile video games under the Super Game program.
