The Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series didn’t get a new installment, instead, this year’s Olympic Games were accompanied by the announcement of e-sports games and a new NFT.
The Olympic Games were to abandon partnerships with Sega and Nintendo in favor of e-sports and NFTs, thus putting an end to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series. The series that accompanied the official competitions since 2007 has ended.
Earlier, players had already noted with surprise that the beginning of the games in Paris didn’t mark the debut of a new game featuring Mario and Sonic. According to Lee Cocker, one of the developers of the brand, interviewed by Eurogamer, the International Olympic Committee didn’t extend the license, which expired in 2020.
