- Major game companies collaborate on Web3 blockchain revival.
- Sony and Square Enix partnership revitalizes SYMBIOGENESIS.
- Indicates continued interest in blockchain gaming innovation.
Sony’s Soneium platform and Square Enix have initiated a collaboration on May 8, 2025, to revitalize the SYMBIOGENESIS blockchain narrative game, previously slated for closure.
The collaboration reflects ongoing efforts to reengage audiences with blockchain gaming, enhancing SYMBIOGENESIS’s viability and potential market reach.
The decision by Square Enix and Sony to collaborate reflects a strategic move to rejuvenate workforce engagement with blockchain technology. Soneium’s platform offers a comprehensive foundation for cross-game collaboration and broadens the ecosystem for players.
Square Enix, having initially planned to end SYMBIOGENESIS in July 2025, is now exploring new engagement strategies through this joint venture with Sony. Soneium, launched in January 2025, continues to gain traction as part of Sony’s broad blockchain initiative.
The announcement has potential implications for the gaming industry, indicating a commitment to blockchain gaming despite historical challenges. Market reactions remain cautious, as the impact on Web3 engagement strategies unfolds.
“While the Internet has long been an essential and highly convenient part of people’s everyday lives, it has also led to the centralization of information and the economic landscape. At the same time, Web3 —which was explicitly built to tackle this concentration of power— is still too complex for users unfamiliar with blockchain and it still lacks major ‘killer apps.'” — Kenichiro Yoshida, CEO, Sony Group Corporation
Given that financial details of the collaboration remain undisclosed, observers anticipate shifts in industry investment patterns. Sony’s Soneium platform has positioned itself as a leader for blockchain applications, enhancing creative ownership and interoperability among developers.
Game developers are adapting to technological advances, aligning with platforms supporting cross-game interaction and NFT applications. By learning from past Web3 efforts, companies can better navigate challenges, driving future industry transformation.
