Tokyo FinTech Norbert Gehrke Follow Listen Share double jump.tokyo announced the development of “SG Verse,” a gaming-focused Verse Layer (L2 blockchain)

Web3 gaming company double jump.tokyo announced on Friday that it is developing a gaming-focused Verse Layer (L2 blockchain) called “SG Verse” on the Oasys platform in collaboration with AltLayer.

SG Verse will support double jump.tokyo’s new blockchain game, licensed from SEGA and featuring artwork from the popular Sangokushi Taisen series, an arcade strategy-based card game set in the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history.

double jump.tokyo has developed the Oasys L2 blockchain “SG Verse” using AltLayer’s technology. This blockchain will power the upcoming game, KAI SANGOKUSHI TAISEN -Battle of Three Kingdoms-, which features SEGA’s Sangokushi Taisen IP. By leveraging a custom chain, double jump.tokyo can implement game-specific enhancements like rapid transaction processing, providing a smoother and more immersive gaming experience.

double jump.tokyo will introduce the ecosystem token “SG Coin (SGC)” for both “SG Verse” and their upcoming game. “SG Coin” will be used for in-game purchases and will also be applicable for future game content and features.

Under the leadership of Yasuhiro Nishiyama, the creator of the original Sangokushi Taisen series at SEGA and now the CEO of Sugorocks, who joined the project in the summer of 2024, double jump.tokyo is revitalizing this game to enhance its core elements and deliver a compelling Web3 experience. By integrating cutting-edge blockchain technology, the updated Sangokushi Taisen aims to set a new standard in the industry.

As part of this transformation, double jump.tokyo is renaming “Battle of Three Kingdoms — Sangokushi Taisen -” to “KAI SANGOKUSHI TAISEN -Battle of Three Kingdoms-” to reflect this initiative. double jump.tokyo will announce the name change in advance and unveil the new logo and key visuals soon as they gear up to make a global impact in the Web3 gaming arena.

double jump.tokyo is the exclusive official partner of AltLayer in Japan, supporting domestic Web3 companies. By utilizing AltLayer’s technology, businesses can easily build their own blockchain (Verse) without hassle. double jump.tokyo serves as the point of contact for this technology in Japan.

double jump.tokyo successfully raised over 1.5 billion yen in Series D funding from investors such as SBI Investment and the Sony Group, and announced plans to invest in strengthening the development and support of blockchain games and infrastructure in collaboration with major Japanese companies. As a pioneer in blockchain game development since 2018, double jump.tokyo is committed to driving mass adoption of Web3 games.

Developed by double jump.tokyo under a licensing agreement with SEGA, this will be a fully-fledged blockchain game. It will feature not only the generals from the arcade version of Sangokushi Taisen but also new generals specially created for this release. The game will offer a strategic auto-battle experience using NFT cards representing recreated generals, and is scheduled for release in winter 2024.
