The leading web3 gaming infrastructure platform and video game giant join forces to drive mass adoption during 2023

MADRID, April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Elixir Games, the leading web3 gaming distribution platform, has announced the formation of a strategic partnership with Square Enix focused on generating visibility and adoption of web3 games among traditional gamers.

Hideaki Uehara, Business Development Director at Square Enix commented on today's news: "This partnership with Elixir Games represents yet another step for Square Enix to explore the promise of web3- decentralized gaming."

Our team is incredibly excited to bring our technology to work, and we foresee Elixir users playing web2 and web3 games alike without distinction. 2023 has already seen more industry leaders enter the space with impactful projects, and we anticipate to see more as the year progresses. We've put all efforts to ensure we are ready for scalability."
