At the same time, the company said it also conducts research and development activities. This, with the aim of integrating the latest web3 technologies into its games and content. It also confirmed that it plans to develop an NFT exchange platform. This would allow players to trade their in-game digital assets with ease.

A controversial choice

Over the years, Konami has become known to mainstream gamers for publishing famous franchises. These include the famous game Metal Gear Solid, but also Castlevania, Dance Dance Revolution Or Frogger. He then extended his services to the world of e-gaming and non-fungible assets.

The Japanese giant notably launched, last January, a collection of NFTs to celebrate theanniversary of its Castlevania franchise. The collection sold out in record time, strengthening it in its objective to develop a more complete offer, hence the current recruitment.

However, the major initiatives of Konami, like most of the traditional game companies that have chosen to enter the NFT market, are not to everyone’s liking. Indeed, at the start of the year, many fans of traditional games expressed their disapproval against these changes.

Critics are flying everywhere

According to traditional gamers, if they over-commit themselves to the development of NFTs, developers risk neglecting the development of traditional video games. Indeed, they know that by engaging in the expansion of their web 3Konami could not be on all fronts.

The Quartz platform, a subsidiary of Ubisoft, is a good example. It has indeed attracted the wrath of gamers at the beginning of the year. Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft, notably returned to the subject last month. He also said that the company’s enthusiasm is still there, but that it has been in “research mode” since the beginning of the year.

For some gamers, his foray into the NFT space, as for other developers of his ilk, is nothing more than a way to get rich. For others, it runs counter to environmental concerns. It would indeed appear that the proof-of-work mining process used to mint NFTs is not environmentally friendly. However, it should be remembered that since the network Ethereum has moved on to proof of stake, these concerns can be put aside. At least, in part.

Recall that NFT sales fell sharply. This coincided with the cryptocurrency bear market. just on Opensea, sales have fallen by more than 99% in recent months. This, compared to their record level of 400 million noted at the beginning of the year.

In a policy speech earlier this month, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also announced that Japan will invest more in NFTs and metaverse. Enough to boost the enthusiasm of e-gaming game companies. For Konami, whose market capitalization amounts to approximately 6.3 billion dollars, this is a boon, it only remains to find the best talents to accompany it in this adventure. Note that the share price of Konami Group Corporation has gained 4.38% in recent days. And this should increase even more after the development of its web3.
