In the statement, the company indicated that CryptoKitties will first be available on the U12+, which is an HTC flagship phone launched on the market in June.
The company then said that the CryptoKitties mobile app version of the crypto game will be launched on the HTC device by the end of 2018. It’s likely both companies want to see how well the crypto game is received on the U12+, and plans will move forward if the response is positive.

Moreover, the Taiwan-based company said that it wants to create a community of blockchain-based apps for its users, and CryptoKitties will be the first of many.
