Parasol, a subsidiary of Mysten Labs designed to assist game developers in incorporating blockchain infrastructure into their games, announced in a press release on Friday that CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS—developed by Jokers Incorporated and licensed by SEGA—will launch on the Sui blockchain. Originally debuted by SEGA Corporation in 2013, the CODE OF JOKER series quickly gained a dedicated following among trading card game fans. With the capabilities of Sui’s blockchain technology, this new version will provide players with genuine digital ownership, the ability to trade freely, and a decentralized platform for sharing their collections. This development signifies a notable advancement in the merging of traditional gaming with blockchain technology. The game is set to be released on iOS, Android, and Web platforms later in the summer of 2025. Why choose Sui? Sui is a Layer 1 blockchain engineered for rapid, secure, and scalable transactions. It is tailored to meet the demands of modern gaming infrastructure thanks to its parallel execution capabilities and object-centric design. Jokers co-founder Takashi Mizuoka emphasized in the press release that Sui was "the only blockchain that could" realize his vision of thriving on the blockchain. “When we first engaged with the Parasol team last year, it was evident that they shared our belief that gaming would play a pivotal role in the Web3 transformation and that the gaming community would be the first to embrace the decentralized economy, ” stated Evan Cheng, CEO and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs. “With its extensive library of SEGA Corporation IP, CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS represents an ideal union of classic gaming intellectual property and the world of blockchain gaming. ” Forging the Future of Web3 Gaming Parasol's move into the Sui ecosystem illustrates the rapid growth of blockchain gaming.

Sui’s mainnet is already hosting cutting-edge titles, including standalone AAA games like XOCIETY and Mysten Labs’ upcoming SuiPlay0X1, a device capable of playing both Web2 and Web3 games. “Our collaboration on CODE OF JOKER: EVOLUTIONS is a passion project for a team that grew up enjoying classic Japanese video games, ” remarked Parasol CEO Kai Chen. “Sui is the sole blockchain that can provide the necessary technical support our gaming partners need, and we’re appreciative of the support from Jokers Inc. and SEGA for our flagship initiative. Exciting developments are on the horizon. ”
