METABORA GAMES Forms Strategic Web3 Game Partnership with Baligames
New Hybrid Title to Combine Casual Match-3 Puzzle Mechanics with RPG Progression Elements
Game to Feature BORA Token Payments and Gas Abstraction for Seamless User Transactions
SEOUL, South Korea, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ -- METABORA GAMES (CEO Choi Se-hoon), a leading blockchain game developer, announced today that it has signed a Web3 game co-development partnership with Baligames (CEO Kim Young-woo) to release a new title on LINE NEXT's Dapp Portal.
Baligames is a rising Korean game studio founded by core developers behind global hits like the Anipang series. With extensive experience in mobile game development and live operations, the studio became the first in Korea to secure strategic investment from Sky Mavis, the creators of Axie Infinity, a leading title in the global Web3 game space. Leveraging this partnership, Baligames launched Axie Champions and Puzzle Champions, two casual Web3 games based on the Axie IP.
Through this partnership, METABORA GAMES and Baligames will collaborate to launch a new Web3 title on LINE NEXT's Dapp Portal. Baligames will lead development and live operations for a hybrid game that combines casual match-3 puzzle mechanics with RPG-style progression. METABORA GAMES will support the project with tokenomics design optimized for LINE NEXT's Mini Dapp ecosystem, along with Web3-focused marketing.
The Dapp Portal is a platform within the Kaia ecosystem that allows users to access a variety of Mini Dapps—such as games and social apps—directly within LINE Messenger, without the need for separate installations.
The upcoming game will support in-app purchases using BORA tokens, enabling players to buy in-game items. Additionally, the game will be the first to implement a Gas Abstraction feature, allowing users to cover gas fees using BORA even if they do not hold Kaia tokens.
This announcement follows METABORA's recently signed Web3 distribution partnership with LINE NEXT on July 14, under which METABORA joined as a core partner for Web3 game publishing on the LINE NEXT's Dapp Portal.
A METABORA representative commented, "Starting with our co-development partnership with Baligames, we plan to bring a lineup of competitive Web3 titles to the Dapp Portal. Through this effort, we aim to expand our game portfolio and further strengthen the BORA tokenomics."

South Korean president will meet Japanese leader ahead of summit with Trump
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will meet Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in Tokyo next week before flying to Washington for a summit with President Donald Trump, underscoring how Trump's push to reset global trade is drawing the often-feuding neighbors closer. Lee's two-day visit to Japan Aug. 23–24 will be an opportunity to deepen personal ties with Ishiba and put bilateral relations on firmer ground. Their talks will center on strengthening trilateral cooperation with Washington, promoting 'regional peace and stability,' and addressing other international issues, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said Wednesday. Their meeting will come weeks after South Korea and Japan secured trade deals with Washington that shielded their trade-dependent economies from Trump's highest tariffs. The separate agreements negotiated their rates of reciprocal duties down to 15% from the originally proposed 25%, but only after pledging hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. investments. Lee and Ishiba previously met on the sidelines of the June G7 meetings in Canada, where they called for building a future-oriented relationship and agreed to cooperate closely on various issues including trade and countering North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. Relations between the two U.S. allies often have been strained in recent years over grievances stemming from Japan's brutal colonization of the Korean Peninsula before the end of World War II. South Korea's previous conservative president, Yoon Suk Yeol, made active efforts to repair ties with Tokyo, including a major compromise on compensation issues related to Korean victims of Japanese wartime slavery, aiming to bolster trilateral security cooperation with Washington against North Korean threats. But Yoon's presidency was cut short by his brief imposition of martial law in December, which led to his ouster and imprisonment, leaving uncertainty over Seoul-Tokyo relations under Lee, who has long accused Japan of clinging to its imperialist past and hindering cooperation. Since taking office in June after winning the early presidential election, Lee has avoided thorny remarks about Japan, instead promoting pragmatism in foreign policy and pledging to strengthen Seoul's alliance with Washington and trilateral cooperation with Tokyo. There also have been calls in South Korea to boost collaboration with Japan in responding to Trump, who has unsettled allies and partners with tariff hikes and demands they reduce reliance on the U.S. while paying more for their own defense. Following his meeting with Ishiba, Lee will travel to Washington for an Aug. 25 summit with Trump, which his office said will focus on trade and defense cooperation. His meeting with Trump comes with concerns in Seoul that the Trump administration could shake up the decades-old alliance by demanding higher payments for the U.S. troop presence in South Korea and possibly move to reduce it as Washington shifts more focus on China.
