Square Enix, the legendary game developer behind beloved titles like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, is soaring into the world of NFT gaming. The company has joined forces with Animoca Brands, a leading metaverse investment firm, to develop and market Symbiogenesis, a new Ethereum-based NFT game.

Symbiogenesis is more than just a collection of digital assets; it's a narrative adventure set in a high-fantasy world ravaged by environmental pollution. Players become active participants in this unfolding story, wielding their unique Ethereum NFT avatars to navigate a "floating continent" and battle a fearsome dragon. Interaction with other in-game NFTs, minted on the Polygon network, adds another layer of depth to the gameplay.

This collaboration marks a significant step for both companies. Square Enix, known for its rich storytelling and captivating narratives, brings its creative prowess to the table. Animoca Brands, a seasoned player in the NFT space, offers expertise in marketing and expanding Symbiogenesis' reach within the burgeoning Japanese and global NFT markets.

The partnership extends beyond Symbiogenesis. Animoca Brands Japan, a subsidiary focused on the Japanese market, will leverage its knowledge to promote collaborations between Square Enix and existing companies within Animoca's portfolio. This opens doors for exciting cross-pollination between established video game franchises and the exciting new world of NFTs.

This isn't Square Enix's first foray into the world of blockchain gaming. The company has a history of exploring the potential of crypto within the gaming industry. Past ventures include investments in The Sandbox, a popular NFT game, and the Bitcoin-based gaming payment platform Zebedee.

Symbiogenesis is set to launch on Animoca Brands Japan's upcoming NFT launchpad, expected to arrive this summer. With Square Enix's creative vision and Animoca Brands' industry expertise, Symbiogenesis has the potential to become a landmark title, bridging the gap between traditional gaming and the exciting possibilities of the NFT metaverse.
