Act Games will migrate Japanese Web3 games to Sky Mavis’ Ronin network
Sky Mavis has partnered with Act Games to migrate Japanese and South Korean titles to the Ronin Web3 network.
Sky Mavis is the creator of Web3’s breakout title Axie Infinity, which has had $4 billion in trading between players since the game hit the charts in 2021. With the success of Axie Infinity, Sky Mavis built its own blockchain network Ronin, and now it is making it available to other game companies.
