Renowned video game publisher Square Enix has revealed the nft auction schedule for its blockchain-backed game Symbiogenesis.
In a November 24 post on X (formerly Twitter), Final Fantasy creator Square Enix shared its plans to sell Symbiogenesis NFTs in three rounds.
According to the announcement, the first auction will take place from November 27 to 28, and the second will run from November 30 to December 1. The final round of auctions will take place between December 2 and 3.
Five hundred nft characters will be released for Symbiogenesis Chapter 1, and the initial auction will introduce ten unique nft characters to the ecosystem. The second auction will feature 90 additional characters and the final round will bring 400 nft characters to the game.
According to Square Enix, the first phase will be available exclusively to interested parties, indicating the initial participation of only investors during the November 27 and 28 phase.
However, later phases will be opened to those participating in a permission-based entry campaign. This campaign ran from November 7 to 21 and involved collectors participating in various questionnaires and a scavenger hunt inside a prototype of the symbiogenesis universe.
Symbiogenesis is the culmination of Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda’s desire to get into web3 gaming, which he expressed earlier in the year.
In July, the company partnered with blockchain gaming company Enjin to produce NFTs tied to physical trading cards and action figures based on Final Fantasy VII characters.
Square Enix describes Symbiogenesis as a “digital collectible art project” that promises an engaging and narrative-driven gaming experience. It revolves around characters and items minted as ethereum (eth) NFTs on the Polygon (MATIC) network and is scheduled to launch in December, following the initial nft minting.
