Konami celebrates 35 years of Castlevania with… NFTs?

The Konami studio, at the origin of the legendary Castlevania franchise, will also sell NFTs for the anniversary of its game.

Between video games and NFTs, these non-falsifiable tokens registered on the blockchain, there is love in the air. After the launch of the Quartz platform by Ubisoft, it is the turn of another studio to enter the crypto field with a collection of exclusive NFTs. This is Konami, the Japanese studio to which we owe the video game franchises PES, silent Hill and… Castlevania !

The latter celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2022 (already!) And for the occasion, Konami has revealed that it wants to sell a collection of 14 works of art in the form of NFTs, as has been the custom for a year already. The sale will take place from January 12 on the Opensea platform, “the largest marketplace for NFTs”. As such, the studio explains:

The Konami NFT Memorial is a new initiative to share content that has been loved by gamers around the world, for many years. As this is the company’s first project in this area, and NFTs and blockchain technology are still in their infancy, Konami will continue to explore new developments and listen to player feedback after this initial fundraising. .

The first in a long line?

This therefore implies that the company has every intention of putting things back together, once this first round of works has elapsed! Of course, if the players are mostly unhappy, Konami should listen to the opinions of its fans, just like the developers of STALKER 2 who ultimately do not intend to integrate NFTs into the game. Konami is not yet one. at this point, but who knows, maybe this is scheduled for later?

In the meantime, fans of Castlevania will soon be able to purchase the physical version of the game Castlevania Requiem, which will be released on PS4 by January 14. Those more interested in virtual works can already open an account on Opensea to take advantage of the sale of NFTs, the complete list of which can be found right here. There will be diversity, with unseen images, game scenes cut during editing or even music.
