Square Enix to Release Final Fantasy NFT Collection in 2023
Final Fantasy’s NFT collection pre-orders will also be available later this year. There are no details yet about the inclusion of the Final Fantasy NFT collection in the games. GSC Game World, the Ukrainian game development company behind the STALKER series, has canceled its plans to include NFTs in STALKER 2, at the request of fans.
Square Enix president Matsuda previously said the firm will devote more budget to blockchain technology in 2022. The president said in January that the company would issue its own tokens.
The President made the following statement:
As the cryptocurrency world becomes more mainstream among the public, I expect to see an eventual right-sizing in digital asset deals. The value of each available content has been corrected based on its actual estimated value. We will be issuing our own tokens and NFT collections soon.
As of January, the company has allocated $300 million to invest in technology alongside investments in artificial intelligence and cloud. It is stated that the budget will be used fully to blockchain technology.
