Square Enix is Still Publishing a Full NFT-based Game
NFT-based games such as the infamous Axie Infinity have not taken off like the ride-or-die Web3 proponents have hoped. Despite that, there are still several major publishers who haven’t abandoned hope for NFTs. Square Enix, for one, has a supposed NFT-based game, Symbiogenisis, in the pipeline. All the promotional material seems to be centered on minting NFT characters for a kind of “story-driven… treasure hunt.”
But there are other major publishers such as Ubisoft and Electronic Arts who have talked up NFTs in games. So far, their attempts at incorporating them such as Ubisoft’s botch job with Ghost Recon Breakpoint haven’t met much success. It’s to the point that Sega, a company that was once extremely excited about NFTs in games, has come out saying it’s walked back many of its non-fungible ambitions.
