The competition in the meme coin space has mainly been between the pioneer meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE), and the fast-rising Shiba Inu (SHIB).
While Dogecoin still ranks above Shiba Inu in market cap, the Shiba Army has been given something to boast about with a new partnership.
Shiba Enters Blockchain Gaming
After announcing a massive token burn to prepare its entrance into blockchain gaming and the trillion-dollar metaverse, the Shiba Inu Games has announced a partnership with Australia’s largest video game developer, PlaySide Studios.
Although Shiba Inu Games is a separate entity, it exists within the larger Shiba ecosystem.
According to the announcement, the partnership aims to develop a new game over the next eight months that is based on a collection of non-fungible tokens, “Shiboshi” – a multiplayer Collectable Card Game (CCG).
An excerpt from the press statement of the studio states;
"PlaySide will provide production, design, engineering, art, user interface, and experience development services to Shiba Inu Games on a new game title during the 8-month term of the agreement."
Shiba Games has proposed an early 2023 launch date for Shiboshi. In addition, the multiplayer game is planned to be deployed on multiple platforms, with a particular focus on mobile platforms.
The Shiba Inu community is looking to improve the project’s use cases and take over the mobile games space over the next year.
