Catheon Gaming ("the Company"), the fastest-growing integrated blockchain
gaming & entertainment company, announced today, the launch of Cosmic
Break(http://cosmicbreak.io/) on to the blockchain, the second gaming title
under Catheon Gaming and CyberStep's partnership, following the launch of
Onigiri.
Cosmic Break, an anime-style 3D MMO third-person shooter, is a Free-to-Play MMO
Battle Shooting Game where players can enjoy large-scale Player Versus Player
battles, and also cooperate with friends to defeat bosses in Player Versus
Environment modes. Released in 2008, Cosmic Break features high-speed and
exhilarating battle gameplay, gaining many core fans as a long-lasting PC
online game title with over 12 years of service and a total of over 4 million
players.
Catheon Gaming is bringing its deep expertise and network to support blockchain

creating new products and services that will amplify digital fandom around the
franchise and game. Not only this, the partnership between both will help drive
existing users to the Cosmic blockchain, allowing for seamless interaction and
engagement with the game.
The global anime market size was valued at USD $24.80 billion in 2021 and is
expected to reach USD $26.89 billion in 2022.[1] With a revenue of more than
USD $19 billion in Japan, anime is experiencing an unprecedented rise in
popularity overseas, with a contributing role to its record sales. Both Catheon
Gaming and CyberStep recognize the unprecedented rise in popularity overseas
and the industry's long-term appeal.
The growth in global popularity is fueled by the availability of anime content
on streaming platforms such as Netflix, in emerging entertainment markets, and
in core P2E gaming markets. Half of Netflix's 222 million worldwide subscribers
watched "some" anime on the platform in 2021, and the time spent watching anime
increased by 20% globally according to Netflix anime head Kohei
Obara.(https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/netflix-anime-ko

William Wu, CEO, Catheon Gaming commented: "The popularity of anime has been
rising significantly in recent years. Anime has been big in Japan for over
seven or eight decades, but in recent years, its popularity has been growing
internationally. Catheon Gaming is delighted to be partnering with CyberStep to
capitalize on this trend and put a spotlight on anime in the form of blockchain
gaming. Our fundamental core principle is entertainment first, and we will
continue to build a gaming ecosystem around this".
Rui Sato, President & CEO, CyberStep said: "Since its inception, CyberStep has
established a solid foundation for its services in North America, Asia, and
Japan by eagerly expanding overseas. CyberStep was one of the first game
developers to publish Free to Play games in Asia and has served over 60 million
users worldwide. Our mission is to develop and deliver entertainment through
innovation and we are very excited to enter the blockchain gaming market with
Catheon Gaming. We hope that everyone will enjoy our brand new anime-based
blockchain game."
