Konami sold the first gaming NFT for 3 million crowns -apkrig

At the beginning of this year, the Japanese company Konami entered the list of gaming entities that showed interest in the NFT. Unlike Ubisoft, which sells Ghost Recon: Breakpoint or 22cans, which provide future plots for gaming workshops and factories through the NFT for a change, the people of Konami wanted to pay tribute to the Castlevania series. Despite the fact that the 35th anniversary fell on last year, 14 works of art went to auction and the first wave of emotions ended tonight. As a result, this meant income for Konami in excess of CZK 3 million, as each NFT was sold for an average price of around CZK 257,000.

The collection, called the Konami Memorial NFT, has undoubtedly opened the way for future events of a similar format, through which Konami can come up with a decent amount of money in the future. Considering that these are de facto screenshots or short videos from individual games, which can be prepared in a short amount of time. After all, the company’s representatives confirmed in early January that Konami would look for other options and indicated that it would focus on other games in the portfolio in a similar way.

The most expensive NFT from this collection – a stylized map of Dracula’s Castle from the first part – was auctioned for almost 570,000 crowns.

The auction took place on one of the largest sales portals, NFT OpenSea, which charges a fee of 2.5 percent for each transaction. In this way, Konami could get up to $ 157,000, with additional money coming to Konami from each resale of the auctioned NFT. The fee can climb up to 10 percent of the sale price, which is, with increasing time and the assumption that the value of the NFT will grow, another interesting amount basically for nothing. And the potential is there, considering that the most expensive NFT from this collection – a stylized map of Dracula’s Castle from the first part – was auctioned for less than 570,000 crowns, respectively. 8 Ethers. The second most expensive token was a 3-minute video with footage from several parts of the series – sold for more than 5 Ethers and artwork from Circle of Moon for almost the same amount.

So much for how the NFT can be handled in the gaming segment and it really doesn’t have to be just about that humdrum cosmetic add-ons, as Ubisoft demonstrates so far. The question, of course, remains how long tokens in the form of artwork or video games can retain their value and whether this is a suitable way to invest their own funds. In any case, it is clear that gaming companies will try it in a variety of ways and that this will be another big trend that will be with us for some time.
