In its first excursion into the non-fungible token (NFT) arena, Konami, a Japanese game producer and software publisher, earned more than $160,000. This was the result of an NFT auction commemorating Castlevania’s 35th anniversary, one of the company’s most popular franchises. The ultimate result is in stark contrast to what other corporations have faced in the past when engaging in these actions, which has resulted in a negative backlash.
During the auction, 14 NFTs were sold, with the highest price being for an NFT portraying the map of the first Dracula’s Castle, which sold for over $26,000.
A three-minute film that showcased some highlights from the various games in the series, which sold for roughly $17K, received the second-highest bid. The lowest piece is now offered at 30 ETH, a little more than $100K at the time of writing, on the collection’s page on Opensea.
That’s all from Konami for now.
