Soulkeep Sale Announcement

The Splinterlands team is excited to announce that the Soulkeep (tower defense) game that has been in development over the past year has been sold to Double Coconut (https://www.doublecoconut.com/) - a leading game development company that has built hundreds of games including many top ranked hits.

Double Coconut is the team that built and developed the Soulkeep game, and we are looking forward to them taking the lead on launching and growing the game as well. We feel that this sale gives the Soulkeep game the best chances of success as well as providing the most value to purchasers of the Nightmare packs over the long term.

Double Coconut is committed to getting the game launched as quickly as possible and then continuing to put resources into improving and growing the product going forward. They are also committed to continuing to use the Splinterlands game platform for Soulkeep, as originally planned, meaning that players will be able to open packs, manage their collection, and utilize the market through the Splinterlands website and other third party Splinterlands tools, and that the Splinterlands tokens (SPS, DEC, and Vouchers) will be utilized within the game.

As the owners of the game, Double Coconut will be responsible for things like game and economy design, conducting future sales, community management, and handling customer support. The Splinterlands team is committed to working with Double Coconut to ensure a smooth integration between the game and the Splinterlands platform for both the fungible and non-fungible tokens, and we hope to be able to use this as a model for other games that would like to integrate with Splinterlands assets in the future.

David Fox, CEO of Double Coconut, says:

We are so happy to finally be launching this innovative tower defense title. Double Coconut is dedicated to growing Soulkeep into a preeminent and iconic web3 title. We strongly believe in the principals of ownership and community involvement that make Splinterlands a success, and are positive this game can add a new layers of fun and bring in different types of players.

The Splinterlands team is also very happy to finally have a path to launching the game, and we look forward to the success of another blockchain-based game utilizing both Splinterlands assets and the Hive blockchain platform.
