Square Enix CEO Reveals Plans for Blockchain Gaming

 


The year is still young, but there are indications that the NFT hype won't level off in 2022 either. OpenSea is again heading for a record trading volume.

Will 2022 be Blockchain Gaming Year for Square Enix? According to CEO Yosuke Matsuda, the answer is “Hai”.

Blockchain gaming enjoyed a boom last year. Projects such as Axie Infinity, Sorare or The Sandbox achieved enormous popularity values due to the creation of new use cases for non-fungible tokens. And so it was not surprising that large publishers also continued to advance into the niche. For example, Ubisoft launched its own NFT marketplace. With Square Enix, the next big game manufacturer is now revealing plans for the prosperous sector within the gaming industry.

In fact, it's a New Year's letter from Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsude. In it, the 58-year-old devotes himself to the most important trends within the gaming scene, starting with the currently omnipresent Metaverse. The fact that Facebook has renamed itself Meta illustrates the enormous possibilities that slumbered in the virtual parallel world. The same applies to the NFT space, although overheated trading activities have been noticed here and there.

Blockchain gaming will gain new status in 2022

He also elaborates on his thoughts on blockchain gaming. Implementing the technology in the world of games has the potential to enable “self-sustaining game growth”. In the long term, every video game could have its own token economy.

It is precisely this type of ecosystem that is at the core of what I call “decentralized gaming” and I hope that this will be a major trend in gaming going forward. The inclusion of these games will be an important strategic issue for us in 2022.

Yosuke Matsude, CEO Square Enix 

Despite the flowery outlook, many gamers remain skeptical about the intentions of game publishers with regard to NFT and blockchain gaming. Ubisoft got a strong tailwind with the launch of its own marketplace. With the survival shooter “Stalker 2” , the feedback from the community about the implementation of NFT was so negative that the developers unceremoniously discarded all plans. Square Enix must be careful in its efforts to venture further into the blockchain gaming sector that the Japanese publisher does not expect similar headwinds.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
