Extra Mile and TV Asahi Group Unveil Japan's First Blockchain Gaming Accelerator Initiative

Tokyo, Japan, April 12th, 2024, Chainwire

Extra Mile and TV Asahi Group proudly announced the introduction of Japan's inaugural accelerator initiative for blockchain gaming. The TV Asahi Blockchain Games Project is designed to equip developers with essential tools and support to launch their Web3 games successfully.

This accelerator program, envisioned by Extra Mile in collaboration with TV Asahi Group in Tokyo, will offer development teams an extensive suite of services to help actualize their Web3 gaming visions. Beyond game incubation and publishing, developers will benefit from community marketing assistance and token strategy support.

TV Asahi Blockchain Games has extended an invitation to various industry stakeholders to participate in this accelerator. They are not only welcoming developers but also investors, intellectual property (IP) owners, and providers of blockchain services. By fostering collaboration among these groups, TV Asahi Blockchain Games aims to deliver comprehensive services catering to Web3 game creators.

The TV Asahi Blockchain Games initiative is set to assist game developers in liaising with licensors and anime production committees that hold IP rights for music, videos, and other multimedia elements. Securing these rights presents significant challenges for developers, often due to the high costs and complexities involved in areas outside their primary expertise.

Aside from facilitating the acquisition of necessary permissions for creating licensed content, this accelerator program will also offer mentorship and advisory support throughout the launch process. This approach aims to maximize the game's potential to capture the interest of diverse target markets, ranging from traditional gamers to Web3 enthusiasts.

Game developers will receive assistance at every phase of the developmental journey, from initial concept to alpha and beta launches. Additional support will include marketing strategies, token design, and the integration of other Web3 components like NFTs.

TV Asahi Blockchain Games has already successfully incubated its first blockchain title, Neobred, which is set for imminent launch. Developed by NFT Technology, Neobred is an engaging racing and horse breeding game where players can breed horses, train them, and compete in virtual races.

More information about TV Asahi Blockchain Games will be shared during the TEAMZ WEB3 / AI SUMMIT 2024, scheduled for April 13-14, where TV Asahi Group is participating as a partner of the summit.
