The mastermind behind iconic franchises like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix, is gearing up to unveil its inaugural Ethereum-based NFT game, Symbiogenesis. New information about the initial NFT mint has recently surfaced.
Square Enix has divulged the auction schedule for its upcoming Symbiogenesis nonfungible tokens (NFTs), with the proceedings commencing on November 27th.
The Symbiogenesis NFT Auction Dates have been revealed through a November 24th announcement by the Square Enix team.
- The NFTs will be sold in three batches, with the first auction running from November 27th to November 28th.
- The second batch’s auction will kick off on November 30th and extend until December 4th.
- The third and final auction for the NFTs is scheduled to start on December 2nd and conclude on December 3rd.
In an unconventional move, Square Enix had earlier declared that it would forgo a public mint for Symbiogenesis. Instead, the developer opted to distribute character NFTs as rewards to fans participating in the game’s official Discord server over a two-week period.
The official announcement stated, “Starting next week, it’s finally time for the start of the auction! Phase 1: 11/27 12:00 – 11/28 11:59 (JST) Phase 2: 11/30 12:00 – 12/1 11:59 (JST) Phase 3: 12/2 12:00 – 12/3 11:59 (JST).”
The entry campaign, running from November 7th to November 21st, required collectors to engage in quizzes and a treasure hunt within a prototype version of the game. Participants earned NFT relics and points contributing to phase 2 eligibility. The top 50 scores, along with 40 randomly selected participants ranked 51 to 300, can acquire NFTs in phase 2. The remaining participants have the opportunity to bid on items during phase 3.
Square Enix aims to release 500-character NFTs for Chapter 1 of Symbiogenesis, with 10 characters in the first wave, 90 in the second, and 400 in the third.
Described as a “narrative-unlocked NFT entertainment” game, Symbiogenesis is set to launch on December 21st. The game centers around characters minted as Ethereum NFTs, along with other NFTs minted on the Layer-2 scaling network Polygon.
Renowned for creating the highly successful Final Fantasy franchise, Square Enix has sold over 173 million units of the game. The developer introduced Final Fantasy NFT trading cards on March 31st and announced a partnership with Web3 infrastructure provider Elixir in April.
