In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the distinction between Web2 and Web3 gaming has gained exponential significance. Web2 gaming is typically characterized by centralized, self-contained ecosystems, while Web3 gaming embraces blockchain technology, decentralization and the concept of players owning in-game assets.

The shift from Web2 to Web3 gaming has emerged as a central point of innovation and transformation within the gaming industry. In this interview, Naoki Motohashi, the producer of TOKYO BEAST, a crypto-entertainment IP project, delves into the dynamics of this profound shift in gaming paradigms. With a substantial background as a producer in Web2 social games, Motohashi provides his perspective on the driving forces behind this transition and the reasons why Web3 gaming is poised to reshape the gaming landscape.
