Japanese gaming giant Square Enix plans to release multiple blockchain games this year

According to ChainCatcher, as reported by Forkast, Japanese gaming giant Square Enix is developing multiple blockchain games based on the company's intellectual property, which will be released this year. The company's president, Yosuke Matsuda, reaffirmed the commitment to integrating blockchain technology with video games.

It is reported that Square Enix has produced world-renowned games such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, and as of March 31, 2022, Square Enix recorded net sales of 365.2 billion yen (2.8 billion USD). In November 2022, Square Enix announced the launch of its first NFT game, Symbiogenesis. However, Square Enix fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the company's adoption of blockchain technology, citing distrust in digital assets, concerns about the potential environmental impact of the technology, and the low quality of blockchain games.
