Originally built and launched by Astar Foundation, Yoki Origins has now relaunched on Sony Block Solutions Labs’ blockchain Soneium. In conjunction with the launch, the game has also rebranded as Yoki Legacy.
Since relaunching the Yoki IP, which initially deployed on Astar Foundation’s Polkadot-based blockchain Astar Network, the game has seen steady growth. In total, 59,000 player wallets have been created and 2.5 million Yoki-related NFTs have been minted.
Head of Astar Foundation Maarten Henskens commented, “As an ecosystem that puts creativity and accessibility at its core, Soneium is the ideal home for Yoki Legacy. We’re excited to see the project relaunch on a platform built to support creators and IP-driven innovation”.
In terms of the game itself, Yoki Legacy is inspired by Pokémon and traditional Japanese culture. It lets players collect various Yokis to complete a notebook.
With the relaunch comes a new updated version of the game’s core mechanics, most notably going from 48 Yokis including 12 basic and 36 evolved, to 24 Yokis including 12 basic and 12 evolved. By collecting three identical basic Yokis, players can now fuse them into an evolved one.
In addition, Yoki’s native token, previously known as Omamori (OMA), is also rebranded as OMASTR. This is to reflect its deeper integration with Astar, and allows users to mint OMASTR on Soneium using Astar Network’s native token, ASTR, without any daily minting limits.
As for the OMASTR token, it’s mainly used for buying capsules, which are required to obtain various Yokis by spinning or pulling capsules. Yoki Legacy features three different capsule machines, each offering a unique set of Yokis and four different capsule types.
Another new feature is that players minting, fusing, and completing their notebooks, will be rewarded with ACS Points, an intuitive launched by Astar Foundation with a reward pool of 100 million ASTR. At launch, a pool of 2 million ACS will be available, with the possibility of more points in the future.
Players completing their Yoki notebook by 1st June will also receive an exclusive Yoki OG Badge.
