VANCOUVER, July 22, 2019 /CNW/ - Axion Ventures Inc. ("Axion" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AXV; OTCQX: AXNVF) announces entry into a binding memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with a leading video game developer ("Partner") to begin the joint development of a new video game (the "Game") expected for global distribution on multiple platforms. Under the MOU, Axion and the Partner have agreed to complete a prototype of the game as an initial milestone with other milestones and joint venture terms to be formalized in a long form co-development/joint venture agreement in due course.

Axion is expected to deliver a playable demo to their Partner in Q4 2019 at which point more details may be announced to shareholders.
