SEGA’s Code of Joker: Evolutions to Launch as NFT Game on Sui

SEGA is releasing a new game titled Code of Joker: Evolutions on the Sui blockchain, developed by Jokers, Inc. The game allows players to collect cards onchain as NFTs.

Key points include:

  • SEGA has licensed the Code of Joker IP to Jokers, Inc.
  • The game incorporates card pack opening mechanics similar to physical card games.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog appears in gameplay footage, but his inclusion in Evolutions is unlikely.
  • SEGA previously stated it would not license major IPs for blockchain games.
  • A related game, Battle of Three Kingdoms, is launching on March 25 with NFT elements.
  • Code of Joker: Evolutions is set to launch at the end of summer 2023 for iOS, Android, and web platforms.

The Asian market is significant for Web3 gaming, contributing 50% of global mobile gaming revenue in 2023. Regulatory changes in countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia are enhancing blockchain participation in the region.
