NFTs are without a doubt one of the biggest hot-button terms on the internet. As more and more established companies and celebrities get into the world of NFTs, and the Blockchain, conversations surrounding their legitimacy become more intense. They’ve started to spread throughout the gaming industry, and now another major gaming studio is looking to get in on the trend. Square Enix has confirmed that it is looking to release NFT content in the future.

Square Enix recently released an earnings report in which it chronicled its financial performance over the past 6 months. In addition to listing its earnings, the company also spoke about its future business endeavors. Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad spotted the confirmation that Square Enix is looking to dive into the NFT business.

Square Enix says it’s going to distribute Shi‐San‐Sei Million Arthur NFTs. The company describes the move as “a proof of concept for establishing what synergies we can derive by combining NFTs with our business assets.” If they’re a success, it’s a likely bet that Square Enix will look to bring NFT items to more of its popular gaming franchises. The studio also plans to make its NFTs available on the LVC NFT market.

Once it’s proven that Square Enix can have success with NFTs the company will move into its “full commercialization” phase. Square Enix is just the latest video game company to express an interest distributing Non-Fungible Tokens. Just days ago, EA stated that its future business will include collectible digital content like NFTs. We previously saw Hellraiser NFT content make its way to Dead by Daylight.
