Sui Secures CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS Launch, Expanding Blockchain Gaming

Sui blockchain is set to expand its presence in the gaming sector with the launch of CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS, a new title from SEGA-licensed game developer Jokers Incorporated. Parasol, a subsidiary of Mysten Labs, made the announcement in a press release, detailing the integration of the game into the Sui blockchain. Originally launched in 2013 by SEGA, the CODE OF JOKER series quickly gained popularity among trading card game enthusiasts. The latest installment, CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS, will enable players to experience true digital ownership, trade freely, and share collections in a decentralized environment thanks to the capabilities of Sui’s blockchain technology. The game is set for release on iOS, Android, and Web platforms in the summer of 2025.

The choice of Sui as the blockchain for this game is rooted in the platform’s capabilities. Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed to handle fast, secure, and scalable transactions, making it an ideal choice for modern gaming infrastructure. With its parallel execution and object-centric architecture, Sui offers the technical features required to bring blockchain to gaming. Takashi Mizuoka, co-founder of Jokers, emphasized in the press release that Sui was the only blockchain capable of fulfilling the vision for their game, allowing it to truly live on the blockchain.

Evan Cheng, CEO and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs, also highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating that the integration of classic gaming IP like CODE OF JOKER with blockchain technology marks a key milestone in the transformation of gaming towards Web3. This partnership exemplifies the growing trend of traditional gaming converging with blockchain to create decentralized economies in games, with gamers at the forefront of adoption.

Parasol’s involvement in the Sui ecosystem underscores the increasing interest in blockchain gaming. The Sui mainnet already hosts innovative gaming titles like XOCIETY and the upcoming SuiPlay0X1, a device designed to play both Web2 and Web3 games. Kai Chen, CEO of Parasol, expressed excitement about the partnership, calling it a passion project for those who grew up playing classic Japanese games. Chen also noted that Sui’s technical capabilities were critical for supporting their gaming partners and expressed gratitude for the backing of both Jokers Inc. and SEGA in bringing the project to life.

This collaboration marks just the beginning, with much more expected to come from the partnership between Sui, Parasol, and the broader blockchain gaming industry. The launch of CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS is set to contribute to the growing trend of blockchain gaming, merging traditional gaming IP with the innovative potential of decentralized economies.
