Sangokushi BOND is a deck-building roguelite army battle set in the Three Kingdoms period, published by Gerappa, a company formed in 2025 by Nishiyama's studio Sugorocks and GENDA. Nishiyama told 4Gamer that the game reuses no assets from the blockchain title-all illustrations and code are new-but carries forward the same strategic auto-battle gameplay. The blockchain game ended service in October 2025 after double jump.tokyo withdrew from the blockchain business, and Nishiyama said he wanted to quickly address player dissatisfaction by releasing this replacement. Sangokushi BOND will cost 800 yen as a one-time purchase, with no blockchain elements, and focuses on single-player campaigns and asynchronous player-vs-player battles.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Sangokushi BOND's single-player rebuild is a direct response to its predecessor's service shutdown.
