SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 8 December 2022 – Oasys, a game-optimized blockchain built by gamers for gamers, today announces the launch of OASYX, the first NFT project built on Oasys’ native blockchain, in collaboration with critically acclaimed game development manager, Yu Suzuki.

OASYX will create various NFTs in collaboration with leading creators, artists and developers coming from established traditional gaming brands. OASYX’s first batch of NFTs at launch will be creatively overseen by Suzuki and published by Japanese blockchain game developer double jump.tokyo.

Suzuki is a noted video game pioneer and the former longtime head of SEGA’s research and development team. An instrumental force for innovation in the Japanese gaming industry both technologically and culturally, he is best known for developing a number of SEGA’s greatest arcade games, including Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing and Shenmue franchising. A gaming industry heavyweight, Suzuki was the sixth person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame and in 2011 received a Pioneer Award from the Game Developers Choice Awards in recognition of his lasting contributions and impact on the global gaming industry. Suzuki is listed as #9 on IGN’s list of Top 100 Game Creators of All Time.

Suzuki will oversee the overall theme and art direction of OASYX’s first NFT series, along with GODTAIL, a multi-talented Japanese digital artist behind various anime-themed artwork and designs. The first series involves the distribution of 10,000 original characters in a free-to-own format that will serve as a base for future metaverse avatars. In subsequent series, OASYX intends to introduce a wider range of NFTs with supplementary use cases, including new characters, fashion items and in-game gadgets.

OASYX’s NFT offers comprehensive tools to its holders, and provides access to Oasys’ expansive ecosystem. This will also include future collaborations with notable game projects when they join Oasys.

Daiki Moriyama, Director, Oasys, said: “As the Oasys ecosystem grows from strength to strength, we are excited to debut the blockchain’s first ever NFT project centered around collaboration with a legendary game developer in Yu Suzuki. We look forward to bringing on more exceptional icons in our industry as we pave the way forward for mainstream adoption of NFTs and blockchain games, with OASYX as a key catalyst.”

Yu Suzuki added: “As the first NFT project in the Oasys chain, in which SEGA, Bandai Namco, Square Enix and other leading game developers participate, we expect OASYX to provide a runway for success for NFTs in the near future. We also believe that the management of world building in its nascent stages has meaningful value to both myself and this industry, and OASYX is poised to be a major initiative to find original value in digital data.”

The launch of OASYX caps off a remarkable year for Oasys, whose key milestones include the completion of a public token sale, a strategic funding round as well as a US$20 million private token sale. Oasys is also in the final stages of its Mainnet launch, first announced in October 2022.

With strong institutional support from its backers including Square Enix, Bandai Namco Research, Ubisoft, Netmarble, WeMade, Mythical Games, Com2uS and Yield Guild Games, Oasys remains fully focused on building its ecosystem and improving user experiences to shape the next generation of gaming .
