It looks like the Shiba Inu community is focused on taking over the mobile gaming space next year.
Shiba Inu Games, a separate entity in the meme coin ecosystem, has partnered with PlaySide Studios, Australia’s largest video game developer. The collaboration aims to develop a new game based on the “Shiboshi” non-fungible token collection over the next eight months.
PlaySide CEO Gerry Sakkas says the collaboration offers them an opportunity to explore crypto and NFTs:
“Emerging technologies are gaining momentum and this is an excellent opportunity for PlaySide to collaborate in this space, broadening our skill base and demonstrating our development capabilities.”
The game is scheduled to be released in early 2023.
The shares of PlaySide, traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, rose by about 5% after the news, indicating that traders are excited about this new collaboration.
Despite this, the news did not affect the price of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) much, with it trading at $0.000036, down nearly 5 percent at the time of writing.
Last month, Activision’s former vice president of technology, William Volk, joined Shiba Inu Games as a consultant to work on what he claims is one of the “most important” game projects of all time.
The Shiboshi game will be licensed to a decentralized developer team working on Shibarium, an yet-to-release Ethereum layer-2 solution.
