The popular video game company Square Enix, known for games like “Final Fantasy”, is launching its first auction of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) for its new Web3 game called “Symbiogenesis”. The game is built on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchain networks, representing Square Enix’s initial foray into decentralized, blockchain-based gaming.
The NFT auction will start on November 27th and unfold over three phases, each offering chances to obtain exclusive digital collectibles that are integral to playing Symbiogenesis. The phases and number of NFTs available are tiered based on players’ engagement with a prior Allow List Entry Campaign held in November. The most exclusive phase is only open to 10 associates, while later phases have 90 and then 400 NFTs available, open to wider groups of qualified participants.
Symbiogenesis blends traditional gaming with NFTs and decentralized technology. Notably, its ending is variable based on the achievements of three top players. While playing the main story is possible without NFTs, owning special character NFTs unlocks additional content and the ability to impact the narrative outcome. Unlike some NFT projects, Square Enix is strategically releasing asset quantities over time matched to new story chapters, gradually revealing more of the game world.
The NFTs serve dual purposes as both game unlockables and tradable blockchain assets. Square Enix is also incentivizing community involvement on Discord through exclusive roles and rewards for active participants. Gameplay occurs over six chapters with varying modes and missions, centered around an intuitive menu system. NFTs play a key role as hint and achievement devices, also convertible to in-game items.
