Global Blockchain Technologies Corp (CNSX:BLOC.U) (OTCMKTS:BLKCF) said Friday that X2 Games will be the company’s new business focus.

The Vancouver-based company closed on the purchase of the blockchain-focused gaming company on December 17, acquiring all intellectual property rights to X2 Games’ current projects including digital interactive games for Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa. One of these games, “St. Noire,” has a pre-release date set for early 2019, with three other Amazon Alexa games set to be launched this year.

‘Well-positioned’

Ortiz, chief creative officer, co-founder and president of X2 Games, added that “X2 is well-positioned to take advantage of this rapidly growing industry.”
