The Sega franchise Code of Joker is making a comeback with a new digital trading card game called Code of Joker: Evolutions, set to launch on the Sui network in late summer 2025. Developed by Jokers Inc. and utilizing the Sui blockchain, the game offers players the opportunity to own, trade, and showcase their digital card collections. Initially launched in 2013 for arcades, the revival aims to enhance the online experience, making the game accessible through web browsers and mobile devices. Sega's co-COO, Shuji Utsumi, has expressed optimism about blockchain gaming and the potential for NFTs to enrich the player experience, despite previous reservations about play-to-earn models. The project represents Sega's cautious approach to the blockchain gaming space, focusing on licensing its IP while exploring innovative ways to engage gamers in this emerging industry. Additionally, the Sui ecosystem is set to feature another revived IP from a prominent Japanese studio, alongside the release of a Sui-branded gaming handheld later in the year.
