Parasol, a subsidiary of Mysten Labs focused on helping game developers integrate blockchain technology into their games, announced via a press release on Friday that CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS, a game licensed by SEGA and developed by Jokers Incorporated, will be launched on the Sui blockchain.
Originally introduced by SEGA in 2013, the CODE OF JOKER series quickly gained a devoted following among trading card game fans. Thanks to the capabilities provided by Sui’s blockchain technology, this new edition will allow users to enjoy genuine digital ownership, engage in unrestricted trading, and share collections in a decentralized manner. This represents a significant stride toward merging traditional gaming with blockchain innovations.
The game is set to be released on iOS, Android, and web platforms in the summer of 2025.
Why choose Sui?
Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain engineered for rapid, secure, and scalable transactions. Its architecture is tailored to meet the demands of modern gaming infrastructure through parallel execution and an object-oriented design.
Co-founder of Jokers, Takashi Mizuoka, expressed in the press release that Sui was “the only blockchain that could” fulfill his vision of residing on the blockchain.
“When we first met with the Parasol team last year, it became evident that we shared the belief that gaming would play a pivotal role in the transformation of Web3, with the gamer community leading the way in adopting a decentralized economy,” stated Evan Cheng, CEO and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs. “Given its extensive library of SEGA intellectual properties, CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS is an ideal initial collaboration between classic gaming brands and blockchain technology.”
Creating Tomorrow’s Web3 Gaming Landscape
Parasol’s integration into the Sui ecosystem highlights the growing momentum in the field of blockchain gaming. The Sui mainnet is already home to innovative titles, including stand-alone AAA games like XOCIETY and Mysten Labs’ upcoming device, SuiPlay0X1, designed to play both Web2 and Web3 games.
“Our collaboration with CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS is a passion project from a group that grew up with classic Japanese gaming,” commented Parasol CEO Kai Chen. “Sui is the only blockchain capable of providing the technical support our gaming partners need, and we are excited to have the support of Jokers Inc. and SEGA for our flagship project. There is so much more on the horizon.”
