Sui Games Coming Soon and Launching Now
New games set to launch on Sui through the next year showcase breakthroughs for Web3 gaming.
Web3 gaming is about to have its breakthrough moment due to Sui's high performance and scalability, finally delivering on the promise of item ownership and a much-needed reset for the gaming industry. Ever since Sui's Mainnet launch, visionary game developers have been building their storylines, graphics, and physics, and we're going to reach critical mass as new games go online.
Already, Ambrus Studio launched its mobile multiplayer online battle arena E4C: Final Salvation, letting players battle in exciting new environments and acquiring NFT-based skins. Arcade-style games BIRDs made a big splash as well, entertaining many thousands of players every day. Gamisodes, another innovative app, is also online, creating new engagement in entertainment.
New games launching on Sui over the next months promise even more excitement and innovative uses of Web3's unique capabilities. Here are just a few games readying for launch:
First quarter launches

Licensed from Sega, which owns the Code of Joker franchise, developer Parasol will produce a new installment, placing the card battler on Sui.

Third quarter launches

According to developer Gumi, this addition to the Brave Frontier games takes the series into the realm of card games, with an intuitive battle system and accessible play.

The self-described social gaming platform Super-B intends to launch with 12 mini games, with more to come, letting players explore different challenges. Player avatars consist of toy-like characters which navigate through and battle in brick-built environments. The game developers plan an open beta in the third quarter.
Super-B offers exciting gameplay in a rich, welcoming environment.
A fun-filled onchain future
Games are just one domain set to explode on Sui, driven by new capabilities in asset ownership offered by Web3 technology. Game developers are introducing unique models for in-game economies, adding a new dimension for players. Past Web3 games suffered from blockchains that felt unnatural and didn't meet player expectations. Sui's ability to support hundreds of thousands of sub-second transactions at scale and innovations like sponsored transactions promise a seamless transition from games of the past to a new, onchain environment where games can flourish.
The games above represent an entirely new paradigm in gaming. Many of these games may also launch on SuiPlay0X1, the new handheld gaming device set to launch later this year. Game release dates are up to the developers, of course, and the above timeline is approximate.
