Oasys, a blockchain platform focused on gaming, has announced a collaboration with top Korean game creator Com2uS, the powerhouse responsible for popular titles like ‘Summoners War: Chronicles’ and ‘The Walking Dead: All-Stars,’ along with its Web3 business arm, XPLA. This partnership signifies a major milestone in the developer’s move into the Japanese market.
Dominic Jang, Oasys’ Head of Business Development & Head of Korea, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Com2uS and XPLA expanding into the Oasys ecosystem. The core value of Oasys comes from the vision that Oasys acts as a blockchain that offers the most relevant solutions for game companies as a game-focused blockchain and we are also confident our collaboration will lead to the kind of innovative gaming experiences that players deserve.”
Transforming Web3 Gaming
Com2uS, recognized as the pioneering game studio and publisher to create a mobile game in South Korea, is not only a confirmed validator on the Oasys blockchain but is set to expand its participation by developing its unique ‘Verse.’ The proposed Layer2, provisionally named XPLA Verse, will utilize the cutting-edge infrastructure of Oasys to deliver superior gaming experiences to Web3 gamers, ensuring compliance with the highest standards.
Under the partnership, Com2uS will integrate its flagship intellectual properties, such as ‘Summoners War: Chronicle’ and ‘The Walking Dead: All Stars,’ into the Oasys ecosystem. ‘Summoners War: Chronicles’ offers an action-packed role-playing game experience, whereas ‘The Walking Dead: All Stars’ is a strategy-based RPG inspired by the renowned zombie television series. These games will be available on the XPLA Verse within the Oasys blockchain, broadening their reach to a larger player base.
Paul Kim, Team Lead of XPLA, stated, “By partnering with Oasys, XPLA will make a significant move into the world’s third largest gaming market, Japan. With plans to launch two major Web3 games based on globally recognized IPs within the first half of the year, we intend to capture the 55 million Japanese gamers community.”
Com2uS plans to utilize the distinctive dual-layer structure of the Oasys blockchain, featuring various Verses (Layer2s) and a central Hub-Layer (Layer1). This setup is especially advantageous for the Seoul-based publisher in its efforts to adhere to and meet Japan’s local regulatory standards.
The expertise and experience of the Oasys team in Japan will play a crucial role in helping Com2uS adhere to regulations and grow its presence and user community in the country. Oasys and XPLA previously joined forces for the Beyond Boundaries hackathon in Seoul in 2023, aiming to address intricate issues in Web3 and enhance the gaming experience overall.
XPLA, built on the Tendermint protocol, operates as a Layer 1 blockchain and acts as a central platform for digital media content. Embracing the concept of ‘Explore and Play,’ XPLA supports an extensive variety of digital content, underpinned by a leading blockchain gaming infrastructure within a self-sustaining ecosystem. As a hub for universal content, XPLA delivers an exceptional creative experience through its vast gaming infrastructure, catering to creators and users alike.
