Wen and Elevate Media, June 2025: a Story World Begins
Historical post This post records events as they were reported at the time. Facts are checked against sources; nothing here is a forecast.
In June 2025, Wen and the transmedia studio Elevate announced a partnership to take the Wen cat beyond the blockchain — into comics, animation and products. This is the first chapter of a story the almanac has followed since: here is what the announcement actually said, who is involved, and which parts were plans rather than results.
The announcement
- Partners: Wen and Elevate, a transmedia studio that builds story worlds, product programmes and fan experiences.
- Goal: develop the Wen character across animation, comics and products for a global audience.
- Form: a U.S.–Irish co-production creating stories and new original characters.
- First outputs: a comic book and a short-form animation pilot, planned for late 2025.

In their own words
We're seeing a rapid transformation in fandoms, where fans want to be an integral part of the stories they love… the WEN community represents that perfectly.
Jeremy Hughes, Elevate
Today's audiences don't just want to feel included, they want to be involved in the stories they love.
Caitlin Burns, Elevate
The production plan mentioned machine learning and game-engine tools "to support human creativity" — the same idea of open, accessible tools that runs through this almanac's open folders and Wen Open Lab.
