Square Enix Is Bringing Its NFT Game to Sony’s Ethereum Network
The initiative connects Symbiogenesis with two other games on Soneium: sleep-to-earn app Evermoon and team-based competitive battler Sleepagotchi. Players who complete limited-time quests in Symbiogenesis will receive commemorative NFT collectibles that unlock benefits across all three games
Gaming giant Square Enix, the firm behind Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, announced this week that it is expanding its blockchain game Symbiogenesis to Sony’s Ethereum layer-2 network, Soneium.
Symbiogenesis originally launched on Ethereum scaling network Polygon, and is currently wrapping up what’s slated to be its final season of content. But that imminent conclusion isn’t stopping Square Enix from a further affiliation with Sony on the blockchain.
The initiative connects Symbiogenesis with two other games on Soneium: sleep-to-earn app Evermoon and team-based competitive battler Sleepagotchi. Players who complete limited-time quests in Symbiogenesis will receive commemorative NFT collectibles that unlock benefits across all three games.
"This isn't just about unlocking digital stickers," the press release states. "The NFT you earn from completing a Symbiogenesis quest grants exclusive community mission perks," as well as in-game benefits.
The campaign is now available, and players must complete the main story epilogues from chapters 1-4 in Symbiogenesis by May 31 to qualify for rewards.
Soneium was developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and blockchain firm Startale Group. Because it’s a decentralized network that any team can build on, this move isn’t being framed as a direct collaboration between Square Enix and Sony, nor does it have any affiliation with Sony’s PlayStation gaming brand.
