Konami managed to sell the NFT game Castlevania to reach USD 162 thousand. This was done to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the classic title, which has been out since 1986.
Through the OpenSea platform, titled Konami Memorial NFT Collection, the game company based in Japan is auctioning a number of his works at various prices. In total there are 14 artworks presented and an average of USD 12 thousand.
For the NFT with the highest selling rate, it fell to Dracula Castle Pixel Art for USD 26,538. Then a 3-minute highlight video was able to earn up to USD 17,518 in revenue, quoted by us from the Video Games Chronicle, Wednesday (19/1/2022).
From these sales, OpenSea has the right to take a 2.5% commission on every transaction on its website. That way, Konami can get a total of more than USD 157 thousand.
