Square Enix Invested in Blockchain Game The Sandbox
Final Fantasy? Dragon Quest Builders? Tomb Raider? What’s coming to The Sandbox?
Japanese games publisher Square Enix is one of the latest investors in the blockchain-powered virtual world game The Sandbox. Together with several investment companies Square Enix pumped 2.01 million dollars in cash and cryptocurrencies into the blockchain-powered virtual world. Animoca Brands announced the deal on Friday after the company was no longer listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
It’s unknown how Square Enix will furthermore be involved in The Sandbox. However, the studio recently teased that a major games industry company is going to build something within the metaverse of The Sandbox. After this investment by Square Enix, it only makes sense that they will build something within the metaverse.
Square Enix Co Ltd. develops, publishes and licenses Square Enix, Eidos and Taito branded video games. This includes brands like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tomb Raider, and Space Invaders. With the Dragon Quest Builders series the company already has some experience in working with voxels, which could provide some inspiration for their work within The Sandbox.
