While the company didn't go into details, it added that as part of "blockchainization" it will not only issue & manage tokens, but also invest in other Web3 companies such as Animoca Brands and The Sandbox. Besides tokens, Square Enix also wants to launch a new NFT brand focused on world-building mechanics.
