Cocone: A Digital Entertainment Studio Enters the U.S. Market
Established in 2008, Cocone is more than a digital entertainment studio from Japan; it's a game changer, pushing boundaries in the contemporary world. While its innovations primarily graced Asian markets in the past, America is set to embrace them by the end of 2023.
With an exciting roadmap ahead, Cocone is gearing up to unveil three unique digital services in this year's final quarter and another trailblazer in early 2024. Leading their US debut are the projects: CAT Club, Centennial, and Toyverse.
"We are thrilled to officially debut our services in the United States," said Mari Kim, the lead designer of Centennial and CEO of Cocone NY. "The U.S. has a vibrant gaming community and we think our fresh approach to design and personal connection through the metaverse will resonate strongly with the Western audience. For nearly 15 years, we’ve proven to the industry that we are a leading studio for innovation, creativity, and pushing boundaries, and we have no doubts that our maturity in the space will be a key differentiator when entering a competitive market for the first time."

Upon membership, enthusiasts are welcomed into "My City," a digital sanctuary where collecting spans from the simplistic (like stones and plants) to the whimsical, including delightful cats, intriguing humans, and fantastical monsters. Your prized collectibles can even take center stage as personal avatars.
Loneliness isn't on the cards in "My City". It's wise to have a companion, perhaps a 'Buddy' toy, easily found or available for purchase. The C.A.T Club experience isn’t just about collecting. Members can enhance their collectibles, dabble in playful cryptocurrency mining (with options to swap for in-game currency), and bond with fellow city residents.
