Gaming enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting development in the world of blockchain gaming! Square Enix, the renowned creator of iconic titles like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, has recently revealed plans to expand its blockchain game Symbiogenesis to Sony’s Ethereum layer-2 network, Soneium.
Originally launched on the Ethereum scaling network Polygon, Symbiogenesis is now gearing up for its final season of content. However, this hasn’t stopped Square Enix from forging a new partnership with Sony in the realm of blockchain gaming.
The collaboration involves connecting Symbiogenesis with two other games on Soneium: Evermoon, a sleep-to-earn app, and Sleepagotchi, a team-based competitive battler. Players who participate in limited-time quests within Symbiogenesis will have the opportunity to earn commemorative NFT collectibles. These NFTs unlock exclusive benefits across all three interconnected games, providing a unique and rewarding gaming experience.
“This collaboration goes beyond just digital collectibles,” the press release emphasizes. “The NFTs obtained through Symbiogenesis quests offer special community mission perks and in-game advantages.”
The campaign is currently live, with players required to complete the main story epilogues from chapters 1-4 in Symbiogenesis by May 31 to be eligible for rewards.
Soneium, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, is a decentralized platform open to all developers. While this partnership is not a direct collaboration between Square Enix and Sony, it builds upon the rich history shared between the two companies. Square Enix’s groundbreaking release of Final Fantasy VII on the original PlayStation in 1997 solidified their connection with Sony’s gaming ecosystem.
As for the future of Symbiogenesis, the game is scheduled to conclude in July, at least for the time being.
“We are in discussions with Square Enix regarding potential future collaborations,” a spokesperson from Soneium revealed. “While we cannot share specific details at this time, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.”
Exciting times are ahead for blockchain gaming enthusiasts, as Square Enix and Sony join forces to push the boundaries of immersive gaming experiences. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking partnership!
