Square Enix’s Symbiogenesis onchain game debuts on Sony’s Soneium blockchain

Square Enix’s Symbiogenesis Web3 game was slated to be discontinued in July 2025, but Sony said the game will now expand to Sony’s Soneium blockchain.

The moves brings the first Web3 game from a major publisher to Sony’s fledgling Soneium blockchain. Sony said that game studios and entertainment giants are choosing Soneium as a channel to collaborate, distribute, and connect with a new generation of builders. As more IP-driven titles enter the ecosystem, they’re not just launching onchain, they’re choosing a place where cross-game collaboration, interoperability, and creative ownership are part of the foundation, Sony said.
