Digital Entertainment Asset Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and Chairman: Naohito Yoshida; Representative Director and President: Kozo Yamada; hereinafter "DEA") relaunched the DEA LABO content site on March 31, 2026. DEA LABO conducts research and implementation of "Public Play Design," which re-engineers society with game logic, and disseminates information as a "technology x entertainment media that provides hints for business development."

With this renewal, previous initiatives and content have been reorganized to convey the concept of "Public Play Design" more clearly. Utilizing insights gained from philosophy, verification, and dialogue, the site has been reborn as a media offering hints for business development.

What is DEA LABO?

DEA LABO is an initiative that promotes the research and implementation of "Public Play Design," which re-engineers society itself into a playable mechanism, rather than merely staging social issues with games.

Leveraging its expertise in games and gamification, DEA explores the possibilities of a new social design that updates the very nature of publicness and participation. The current site also states that DEA LABO aims to "rewrite the rules of society with games" and, centered on "Public Play Design," seeks to update the very state of society rather than merely "solving" social issues.

Features of the New Site

To deliver hints for business development and social problem-solving more clearly, the site has been revamped with a structure that立体的に conveys the values of philosophy, verification, and co-creation. A communication foundation has been established to make it easy for first-time visitors to understand. New projects, such as dialogues with the chairman, will be added and expanded sequentially.

1. Organization of DEA LABO's Philosophy and Overall Picture

The site has been reconfigured to make it more intuitively understandable what "Public Play Design" is, what world DEA LABO envisions, and what role it plays.

2. Redesigned Content Navigation

Content navigation has been improved to provide easier access to DEA LABO's insights, including articles, reports, and content related to various projects.

3. Clearer Entry Point for Co-creation

A clear point of contact has been designed for companies, local governments, experts, and creators who wish to engage in demonstrations and discussions to "make society playable" with DEA LABO.

4. Refreshed Logo Design

Inspired by a "laboratory (LABO)," the logo is based on the shape of DNA, the design of life. This motif embodies the meaning of connecting DEA's philosophy and creative outputs genetically, leading to the future.
