Gaming NFTs have gained much popularity in 2022 as people poured their money into play-to-earn games. Based on this year’s business plan, there will be “three focus investment fields” for Square Enix with blockchain gaming being the central goal, created under the vision of a decentralized ecosystem
President Matsuda also shared that some NFT projects with original IPs are already in development since 2022 and will soon be unveiled to the world. The Japanese company will also focus on investment aspects.
