๐ฎ Bandai Namco Dives into Blockchain Gaming in Asia: What Does It Mean for the Crypto World?
Hello again! I've got another electrifying news for you. Bandai Namco, the gaming giant behind iconic titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls, is making waves in the blockchain gaming sector. They're focusing on the Asian market, and here's why you should be all ears. ๐ง
Karim Farghaly, Bandai Namco's SVP of Corporate Development, recently spilled the beans at the Esports and Gaming Business Summit in Las Vegas. He revealed that the company is exploring how blockchain can be integrated into its mobile-focused business model. ๐ฑ
Why Asia, you ask? Farghaly believes that the first blockbuster games in the Web3 and crypto space are likely to emerge from this region. The reason? Less stigma around blockchain games in Asia compared to the Western world. ๐
Bandai Namco isn't new to the blockchain game. They've previously collaborated with blockchain firm Double Jump.Tokyo to develop Ryuzo, an AI-powered virtual pet game where players can own their Ryu creatures as NFTs on the Oasys blockchain. ๐
So, what's the big deal? Farghaly sees a unique value proposition in blockchain games, especially for the 'whales' of the gaming world. Owning a digital asset that you can trade, sell, or keep for a long time is a game-changer. ๐ฎ
What do you think? Will Asia lead the way in blockchain gaming? ๐ค
