Tatsu Works turns to Ronin for Web3 support for Tatsumeeko life sim
Tatsu Works has chosen the EVM-based blockchain Ronin to host Tatsumeeko, a free-to-play life simulation role-playing game.
Singapore-based Tatsu Works decided to migrate IMX and Solana. The game is slated for release on mobile and PC platforms in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Established in 2016, Tatsu Works has been at the forefront of developing the Tatsumeeko and Tatsu.GG brands. The team consists of veterans from triple-A entertainment and gaming companies such as Square Enix, Koei Tecmo, Tencent, Gumi, and Toei Animation. They have collectively shipped titles including Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Brave Frontier and more.
Tatsu.GG, a Discord-based content system, features collection and idle RPG elements, allowing players to collect and trade resources across Discord. It’s used in over 1.5 million Discord communities and boasts 60 million lifetime users.
Building on this success, Tatsu Works is expanding its vision with its latest full-scale Lifesim RPG title, Tatsumeeko, which seamlessly blends turn-based auto-combat with cozy housing gameplay.
Tatsumeeko introduces players to a rich, modern fantasy world, featuring an innovative Arcana system that offers millions of unique combat combinations and high-end immersive 2.5D environments for in-game exploration.
To further expand their cross-platform presence and build excitement around the full release of Tatsumeeko, Tatsu Works is launching Lumina Hunt, a lite RPG game on Telegram this month.
Players will collect points called Vabloons through contributing to V-Squad (an in-game organization). The players with high participation and contribution will be ranked and rewarded with tokens upon the launch of the game’s token launch.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the first life simulation RPG to the Ronin ecosystem, adding a fresh genre for our growing community. Tatsumeeko’s large and passionate Discord following reminds us a lot of what we saw with Axie Infinity in its early days, which we believe is a strong indicator of their potential for success on Ronin,” said Trung Nguyen, CEO of Sky Mavis, creator of Ronin, in a statement.
Players will also be rewarded with key essential items and currencies for an early boost in Tatsumeeko: Lumina Fates, the main game (slated to launch open beta before the end of 2024), through participation in Lumina Hunt.
“We’re excited to partner with Ronin as we prepare for the full launch of Tatsumeeko later this year,” said David Lim, CEO of Tatsu Works, in a statement. “Our goal is to unify Web2 and Web3 gaming by allowing our massive Discord community to explore the potential of blockchain technology through our life simulation RPG. We believe Tatsumeeko and Ronin together offer the perfect platform for this.”
Ronin is an Ethereum virtual machine blockchain specifically forged for gaming. Developed by Sky Mavis, the creator of Web3 title Axie Infinity, which has generated over $1.3 billion in revenue, Ronin is a blockchain proven to scale a single game to accommodate millions of daily active users and has processed over $4 billion in NFT volumes.
Ronin optimizes for near-instant transactions and negligible fees that enable millions of in-game transactions to occur seamlessly.
