The partnership’s primary objective is to develop a layer-2 network that complies with Japan’s regulatory framework, marking a significant stride towards integrating web3 technologies within the Japanese gaming landscape.

These upcoming games are grounded in globally recognized intellectual properties, indicating Com2uS’s ambition to carve a niche in the Japanese gaming community, which boasts an impressive count of 55 million players.
Paul Kim, XPLA Team Lead, underscored the strategic importance of this move in tapping into the expansive Japanese gaming market.
Integrating Flagship Games with Oasys
In addition to introducing new games, Com2uS plans to transition its celebrated game franchises, such as ‘Summoners War: Chronicle’ and ‘The Walking Dead: All Stars,’ onto the Oasys network.
This migration is anticipated to not only elevate the games’ visibility but also harness the Oasys blockchain’s technological prowess to deliver an enriched gaming experience.
Innovative Blockchain Architecture
Oasys stands out with its unique combination of a primary layer-1 blockchain and an Ethereum-compatible, Optimistic rollup-based layer-2 scaling solution.
This innovative architecture enables the creation of customized game versions, or “Verses,” tailored to the distinct needs of game developers.
As an Oasys validator and a trailblazer in mobile gaming, Com2uS is set to launch its exclusive XPLA Verse.
Market Response and Future Prospects
The announcement of this collaboration witnessed a noteworthy 22% spike in the value of the Oasys token (OAS), signaling the market’s positive reception to the partnership’s potential in fostering innovation and growth within the web3 gaming sector.
Although the OAS token’s price later adjusted, the partnership remains a crucial milestone for both Com2uS and the Oasys blockchain in reshaping the future of gaming.
Dominic Jang, who spearheads business development and Korea initiatives for Oasys, shared his optimism about the blockchain’s capability to deliver solutions that cater to the evolving needs of game companies.
