Yodo1 Launches IPverse: AI Platform Transforming Gaming IP Deals
Unveiled at ChinaJoy 2025 with 60% of China’s Top 30 game companies in attendance, IPverse is the first AI-driven licensing platform built to make IP collaborations faster and more profitable.
Shanghai, July 30, 2025 – Yodo1 Games today announced the launch of IPverse, the world’s first AI-powered platform transforming how game developers and entertainment brands collaborate.
Presented alongside industry leaders including Hasbro, Wanda Cinema Games, and Ruyi Jingxiu, IPverse addresses one of gaming’s biggest challenges: the slow, uncertain process of securing IP licenses and building collaborations.
“Building the digital footprint of a brand like Hasbro takes a village – and Yodo1 has been instrumental in that journey,” said Barry Dorf, VP of Interactive Global Licensing and Business Development at Hasbro. “They’re not just partners; they’re family. Our strategic collaboration with Yodo1 gives us the confidence that Hasbro’s brands will thrive in gaming globally.”
Why IPverse Matters
The global gaming industry generated nearly $200 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a +8% CAGR. Increasingly, the most successful titles leverage well-known IPs: across mobile, PC, and console, collaborations consistently outperform original titles. What was once rare is now the industry norm.
IPverse makes licensing faster, smarter, and easier through:
- Dynamic IP Rankings – Pinpoint IPs with the highest engagement and revenue potential.
- AI Matchmaking – Data-driven IP recommendations tailored to your game, cutting months of research to minutes.
- Agent Y (Coming Soon) – Create professional collaboration proposals in under 30 minutes.
- Global Access – Insights from 79,736 industry events, 15,095 brands/IPs, and 15,199 games worldwide, connecting studios from Los Angeles to Tokyo with licensors from Hasbro to Sony Pictures.
“IPverse isn’t just another tool – it’s a paradigm shift,” said Eliyar Eziz, Product Lead at Yodo1 Games. “We’re turning guesswork into data and uncertainty into opportunity.”
Real-World Examples
At launch, partners shared how IPverse accelerates decision-making:
- Wanda Cinema Games: VP Bi Sheng explained that adapting the Transformers franchise into a new standalone game was supported by IPverse’s popularity data, which provided critical validation for franchise choices.
- Ruyi Jingxiu: VP Chen Chao highlighted pairing AOS, an SLG game, with Sony’s Starship Troopers IP. While not an obvious fit, the collaboration resonated with late-90s sci-fi fans—the target audience—and doubled new-user acquisition.
