The game can be accessed through desktop browsers and through iOS and Android mobile devices.&nbsp; 
 Byte City has also collaborated with Bruce Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee and Samsung Gaming to develop the tribute event. In a previous press release, Lee said that the game will provide an immersive experience that allows fans to celebrate her father’s legacy in a special way.

 Meanwhile, this was not the first instance of Bruce Lee diving into the Web3 world. On April 12, the Bruce Lee Foundation, which is also directed by Shannon Lee, partnered with the nonfungible token (NFT) video platform Shibuya to create an NFT collection called The House of Lee.

 While the release generated about $730,000, holders of the NFTs quickly realized that only one NFT was unique in the entire collection. This led to the floor price of the collection dropping from its 0.008 Ether (ETH) minting price to around 0.002 ETH at the time of writing.&nbsp;
