Square Enix-Elixir Partnership Expected to Attract Millions of Gamers to Web3
“This partnership brings us closer to web3 gaming mass adoption. Our team is incredibly excited to bring our technology to work, and we foresee Elixir users playing web2 and web3 games alike without distinction.”
– Carlos Roldan, CEO of Elixir Games
The move comes just months after Square Enix reiterated its focus on blockchain and Web3 gaming in response to criticism by some fans who were discontent with the company’s newfound interest in Web3 games. Square Enix is a globally recognized game developer best known for Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest video game series.
Web3 Games Gaining Traction
It remains unclear how exactly Square Enix and Elixir will collaborate, but the alliance represents an important step for the former company “to explore the promise of web3- decentralized gaming,” said Hideaki Uehara, Business Development Director at Square Enix. Square Enix co-led Elixir’s most recent funding round in December.
Web3 gaming has been growing increasingly popular in recent years due to the unique features and benefits it offers to gamers compared to traditional gaming. Through blockchain technology, web3 games feature decentralized gaming ecosystems that give users greater control over their in-game assets and interactions.
