Towards the end of December, Shiba Inu announced its partnership with PlaySide Studios. At the time of the announcement back then, both the parties had signed a work-for-hire contract. PlaySide’s strategic agreement with Shiba was in line to develop a multiplayer Collectible Card Game to be released on various platforms.
Things didn’t stop progressing after that arrangement. Developments kept taking place post that too. Just a fortnight back, for starters, one of Shiba Inu’s prominent developers Shytoshi Kusama had a meeting with Shiba Inu’s newly gaming lead William Volk. PlaySide Studios had tweeted about the same.
Ten hours post the aforementioned tweet, Shiba Inu’s official Twitter handle asserted,
Working on amazing things, #ShibArmy! Woof!
PlaySide Studios, as such, is one of the largest publicly listed game developers. It is the biggest in Australia and has tied up with organizations including the likes of Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros, and Nickelodeon.
