The Investment Director of Binance Labs Chase Guo spoke about the investment:

"Sharing the same vision of increasing crypto adoption globally, Binance Labs and Nine Chronicles have formed a long-term partnership through the investment. We believe that the team’s deep gaming expertise and the game’s sophisticated graphics will bring them great success in the blockchain gaming space."

More specifically, Nine Chronicles will be launching a BSC asset bridge so players can access the Binance NFT marketplace, and sell or trade their digital assets that they’ve earned in-game.

Likewise, extra core features such as dual tokens, mobile and guild DAO support will be seeing the light of day sometime in 2022.

Planetarium, the development company of the blockchain MMORPG, will stay in charge of the operations related to Nine Chronicles. Kijun Seo and JC Kim, Co-CEO’s of Planetarium, shared their vision for the future of the MMORPG, stating:

"We plan to take Nine Chronicles mainstream this year by adding new competitive and collaborative features for players and guilds, launching the game on mobile, upgrading our decentralized network infrastructure, and enabling our passionate community of creators."

Nine Chronicles has been in development since October of 2020. Until now, the game distributed more than 10M in-game tokens, also known as NCGs, and 2M NFTs.
