With all the companies that are getting into the big fashion of NFT, it is to be expected that some will pocket the jackpot, while others will fail with losses and a crash, like any phenomenon based on speculation. Konami can consider himself lucky to be in the first scenario, since the sale of his NFTs based on the series Castlevania is so far a success.
A first success that should give ideas to Konami
VGC then reports that the sale of these NFTs would have generated $162,000, of which 157,000 would have gone into Konami’s pocket after withdrawing the commission from the market place OpenSea.
The entire Konami Memorial collection was therefore sold this weekend, with in particular a record figure for the image of Dracula’s castle that comes from the first game Castlevania, which sold for $26,538 (visible just below for free, it’s a gift for us).
A 3 minute video mixing gameplay for several games Castlevania also sold for over $17,000, at the same price as an artwork based on Circle of Moon. The lucky owners of these NFTs will be entitled to their nickname (or their name) listed directly on the event page.
It remains to be seen whether these NFTs will pass into other hands so that Konami can receive a commission. Anyway, it’s already a first success for the publisher, which should logically lead to other proposals of the genre. As for a new game Castlevania, we imagine that this is not necessarily the priority of this 35th anniversary.
