While the NFT controversy continues strong, the Konami took a big step in entering this market, which is also becoming stronger and more established. At the OpenSea, the company launched the "Konami Memorial NFT Collection".
To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the Castlevania Franchise, the company sold 14 items created especially for that date. Konami managed to raise over $160 from Castlevania NFTs. Contributing to that amount, a single fan spent around $26 on a digital map of Dracula's Castle from the original Castlevania.

Konami Raises Over $160K From Castlevania NFTs
The NFT items made available by Konami included gameplay clips, virtual posters, and other content for fans of the franchise. The action became a success for the company, as the entire collection was sold in a few hours, resulting in a profit of more than 160 thousand dollars.
It is worth remembering that Konami will probably still have more values entering its coffers with NFTs, as it will be able to earn 10% royalties on each item that is resold. In addition to the fan who spent about 26 thousand dollars on the digital map, another user also stood out for acquiring the NFT of a Castlevania gameplay clip for $17.
Along with the other purchasers of the collection, these fans will be honored by Konami on an official website, which will display the names of the original purchasers of the entire collection, over a period of ten months.
After the success of their first collection of NFTs, it's pretty obvious that Konami will continue to be on the lookout for more possibilities in this market. The company already has plans to offer other collections, but more details have yet to be revealed.
