[About YGG Japan]
YGG Japan aims not only to let Japanese game users “Play to Earn”, but also lead them into the world of “Play and Earn”.
Japan is one of the world’s leading content powers. Through media such as manga, anime, and games, the country owns a large number of IPs by global standards, and new IPs are being created every day. There are also many development studios that create world-class games. YGG Japan will provide an environment to deliver games using Japanese IP and original blockchain games to users around the world.
Guilds, the gaming community, are essential to enjoy blockchain games. Therefore, we will expand the guild network by strengthening the scholarship system, guild management tools and various game-related incentive programs so that more and more vibrant guilds will be created. Through these activities, we will scale up the blockchain game market in Japan and realize a new world where games are a part of daily life.
