Aiming to expand business in Korea

On the 22nd, gaming-specific blockchain Oasys announced that it has entered into a partnership with METABORA SG, a subsidiary of Kakao Games, a major Korean gaming company. We will strengthen our presence in the Korean game market.

The company plans to explore the creation of killer content in collaboration with METABORA SG, which develops blockchain games using premium IP. It is part of the Oasys Dragon Update 2024 vision, which has three pillars: interoperability, ecosystem, and killer content.

Kakao Games is one of the leading online and mobile game publishers, and is also expanding its business into blockchain games.

Its subsidiary, METABORA SG, is a company that focuses on deploying platforms that utilize blockchain technology and developing blockchain games.

The portfolio of METABORA, the company's parent company, also includes game titles based on IP (intellectual property) such as “Friends Popcorn'' and “Friends Town.''

Dominic Jang, head of business development at Oasys, commented, “Our partnership with METABORA SG is an important step toward further business development in Korea.''

We are very happy to partner with METABORA SG, which shares our vision of revolutionizing the gaming industry using blockchain technology.

Vincent Lim, chief branding officer of METABORA SG, said the following, citing statista's predictions about the Japanese game market.

Oasys is known for its deep integration with major Japanese gaming companies, many of which are already part of the Oasys ecosystem as validators.

Additionally, Japan is one of the world's largest gaming markets, with 42.5% of the population being active gamers, and that number expected to increase to 48.2% by 2028.
