Players will be able to open card packs and collect cards onchain as Sui NFTs. “We knew that we wanted to match the physical feeling of opening a new card pack,” Takashi “Gin” Mizouka, cofounder of Jokers Inc., said in a statement. <figure><img alt="" src="https://static.fwimg.io/img/feed/0d4dbcb4d88bf8323cb536f2282c773b.jpg"><figcaption>Screenshot from Code of Joker, showing Sonic the Hedgehog as a character.

You can preorder Battle of Three Kingdoms on iOS and Android — and yes, this one is available in English on the US App Store. It’s a bit funny the app store descriptions omit any mention of the game’s crypto elements, though. This game has NFT cards, and its website also mentions staking the game’s SGC token.To be honest, it was hard to find any details about Code of Joker online in English. It’s a game from 2013, and I wasn’t able to find any recent YouTube videos about it. The most recent one I found was from six years ago. The Code of Joker Pocket mobile game ended service back in 2018, according to a message on its website and a <a href="https://x.com/cojpocket_sega/status/986107820088049665" rel="nofollow">post</a> on its X account.Ultimately, the character art looks detailed and appealing for those into anime style, but the IP doesn’t seem to have crossed over to US audiences yet. Regardless, I think existing fans of the game could get a kick out of this installment of the series.I asked the team whether the game will be released in English (as opposed to only in Japanese), and they weren’t ready to share that yet: “More details forthcoming,” a PR rep replied. If the game doesn’t release in English, I imagine it’d be tough for it to reach a broader audience. But maybe that’s not the point — Asia has been proven to be an important market for Web3. In 2023, 50% of global mobile gaming revenue came from the Asia-Pacific region with over 1.5 billion mobile gamers there, according to data from Grandview Research.Tiger Research has also pointed out that recent regulatory moves in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia are positioning those countries for continued blockchain participation. We’ve seen Sony’s <a href="https://blockworks.co/news/sony-astar-ethereum-rollup-soneium" rel="nofollow">Soneium</a> throw its hat into the ring, who recently announced that <a href="https://thedrop.beehiiv.com/p/another-one-bites-the-dust" rel="nofollow">four mini-app games</a> will be using Soneium as part of a deal with the messaging app Line.We don’t know much more about Code of Joker: Evolutions yet, but it’s expected to launch at the end of this summer for iOS, Android and as a web version.<hr>Get the news in your inbox.

SEGA’s ‘Code of Joker’ launching as NFT card game on Sui

"조커: 진화의 코드"가 올 여름 iOS, 안드로이드 및 웹 브라우저에 출시될 예정입니다.

GM(Good Morning)의 새로운 게임 시리즈 'Code of Joker'가 게임 중심의 L1 블록체인 수이(Sui)에 출시됩니다. 

SEGA는 IP 라이선스를 써드파티 기업 Jokers, Inc.에 제공했으며, 이 회사가 새로운 타이틀 'Code of Joker: Evolutions'를 개발하고 있습니다. 

플레이어들은 카드 팩을 열고 수이 NFT로 카드를 수집할 수 있습니다. 조커스 Inc.의 공동 창립자 Takashi "Gin" Mizouka는 "새로운 카드 팩을 여는 실제 느낌을 구현하고자 했다"고 말했습니다.

SEGA의 유명 캐릭터 소닉 더 헤지호그가 'Code of Joker' 게임플레이 영상에 등장하지만, 새로운 게임 'Code of Joker: Evolutions'에는 포함되지 않을 것으로 보입니다.

'Code of Joker: Evolutions'는 올해 말 iOS, 안드로이드, 웹 버전으로 출시될 예정입니다.
