Jokers Inc., a Tokyo-based company, has secured licensing from SEGA CORPORATION to develop Code of Joker: Evolutions, a blockchain-supported digital trading card game.

The game is set for an international release in summer 2025, with a Japan launch expected in 2026.

Originally an arcade-exclusive title in 2013, Code of Joker gained popularity in Japan for its strategy-based gameplay.

The franchise revival will use the Sui (CRYPTO:SUI) blockchain to enable player-to-player card trading and secure digital asset ownership.

Takashi “Gin” Mizouka, co-founder of Jokers Inc., highlighted the importance of replicating the physical experience of opening card packs digitally, emphasising Sui’s advanced capabilities.

The game will be available on smartphones (iOS and Android) and web browsers, marking a shift from its arcade origins.

The Sui blockchain offers sub-second transaction finality, scalability, and security, supporting seamless trading and storage of digital assets.

SEGA’s involvement reflects its cautious approach to Web3 gaming, opting to license dormant intellectual properties rather than directly develop blockchain-based titles.

Jokers Inc. is led by co-CEOs Wataru Sato and Yasuhiro Nishiyama, both with extensive gaming and licensing experience.

Nishiyama has worked on SEGA titles like Sangokushi Taisen and Chain Chronicle, while Sato contributed to the global adaptation of Bakugan.

The collaboration mirrors other blockchain gaming initiatives, such as Battle of Three Kingdoms on the Oasys (CRYPTO:OASYS) blockchain, as SEGA explores Web3 gaming with minimised risks.
