One of the leading Japanese gaming companies has unveiled a new game being developed from scratch "for Web3 fans".

Square Enix has announced a game called Symbiogenesis, which will revolve around symbiote characters that players can collect in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

It is reported that the game will have a story, and playerswill be able to complete tasks, unraveling a certain mystery. The further users can progress through the tasks, the more the game will open up, Square Enix says. The plot of the game will be centered around monopolization and distribution of resources.
