Kijun Seo, CEO of Planetarium - "It's been about a year since we started developing the game and the underlying technology, and we’re very excited to reveal it now. Since Nine Chronicles will be released as an open-source project and owned by the player community, we hope to find many like-minded gamers who’ll support us on our journey ahead!"
Catherine Seys, Start-up Program Director at Ubisoft's Strategic Innovation Lab - "The focus this season is in line with our goal to explore potential blockchain use cases for the gaming industry, and see how the technology could enhance players' gaming experience,"
