Showa American Story is hailed as one of the most anticipated games of 2025. Its unique collision of Japanese and American cultures, open-world gameplay, and highly entertaining meme culture narrative style have attracted countless players worldwide. The game trailer has accumulated over 500 million views so far, and many industry leaders have referred to Showa American Story as the next "Black Myth: Wukong." Additionally, the derivative cryptocurrency $SHOWA, based on this game, saw its market value soar to $36 million within 20 days, initiating a new gaming financial model.
Today, Oneness Labs, the issuer of the SHOWA token, officially announced the acquisition of equity in the game developer Suzukaze Games. By acquiring shares in Suzukaze, Oneness Labs will establish $SHOWA as the first token backed by real-world assets (RWA). This innovative model breaks the traditional Web3 gaming economic model, linking the value of cryptocurrency not only to the in-game ecosystem but directly to the future growth of the company's IP and shareholder returns, bringing new perspectives to both the gaming and cryptocurrency industries.
Changing the Value Model of Web3 Games
The core innovations of $SHOWA:
- Token buyback from a portion of game revenue: Top global game sales can reach hundreds of millions of dollars, meaning tens of millions from Web2 consumer revenue will flow into Web3, directly used for token buybacks. A robust buyback model and significant capital will create new imaginative space for $SHOWA as a Web3 token.
- Equity binding with Oneness Labs: Oneness Labs will deeply bind its equity in Suzukaze Games with the development of the game company and IP evolution, providing long-term development space and value support for $SHOWA.
- Anti-Woke, Anti-DEI narrative: $SHOWA represents the rebellious spirit of the gaming industry, firmly resisting Woke culture and the DEI movement. This stance not only resonates with Elon Musk but also aligns with the current mainstream cultural trends in the United States.
A New Paradigm for Web3 Games
$SHOWA was initially released in the player community of Showa American Story, rooted in a vast base of millions of core fans and over a hundred million ACG culture enthusiasts. Since its launch, SHOWA has become one of the most held cryptocurrencies among Web2 players. For many holders, $SHOWA is their first cryptocurrency asset. They hold it not for short-term speculation but based on a deep recognition of game culture, IP value, and a firm belief in the long-term development potential of Showa American Story.
Unlike traditional Web3 games that rely on "getting Web2 players to try new games" to attract them into the cryptocurrency industry, $SHOWA has built a new Web3 gaming breakout model through a strong sense of IP recognition, lightweight experience, and more socially shareable characteristics. It allows players to naturally engage with Web3 assets within a familiar gaming ecosystem and achieves true user self-growth through cultural resonance and community-driven initiatives.
As Showa American Story officially launches in 2025, global promotion, marketing activities, and token applications both in and out of the game will further bring $SHOWA into the view of tens of millions of traditional gamers, becoming a landmark case of deep integration between Web3 assets and the mainstream gaming market.
Innovation in Gaming Financial Models and Industry Standards
$SHOWA represents not just a standalone game token but a new gaming financial model that leverages the $200 billion gaming industry in a novel way. Oneness Labs is building the financial infrastructure for gaming in the Web3 era, enabling players to directly participate in the growth and revenue distribution of game IP. At the same time, Oneness Labs is actively advancing the compliance process in the U.S., aiming to become a standard-setter in the industry, attracting more traditional capital that is optimistic about the gaming and cryptocurrency industries but has previously lacked reasonable investment channels and targets, promoting a standardized model for Web3 assets in the gaming industry.
Players Own the Game
"Our model makes games for players, not for investors and publishers. Ultimately, the game belongs to the players, not to capital," said Oneness Labs CEO Kathy Gong. "$SHOWA is setting a new standard for gaming finance."
Oneness Labs plans to fund 10 top independent game developers globally in 2025, establishing a decentralized gaming distribution and financial network, returning control of the gaming industry to players and developers rather than traditional capital. As a pioneer in this system and the world's first RWA token, $SHOWA will continue to drive innovation in the gaming financial ecosystem.
Major Announcements Coming Soon
The $200 billion global gaming industry is on the brink of transformation. In the Web3 space, a plethora of meme coins lacking real support flood the market, while serious investors are turning their attention to tokens with real value, strong fundamentals, and quality asset backing.
$SHOWA is transforming gaming into a new asset class—through IP assetization, community-driven economies, and equity income, creating a transparent and sustainable on-chain financial infrastructure.
Oneness Labs is setting new industry standards, becoming the "Blackstone" of the gaming world, turning game IP into investable assets with high return potential and solid business models. Oneness Labs is about to announce a series of significant news to further promote the global layout of $SHOWA and the Web3 gaming financial model.
