Konami Celebrates 35 Years of Castlevania With Launch of NFT Collection

by Rainier on Jan. 6, 2022 @ 8:54 a.m. PST

Konami announced the upcoming launch of the Konami Memorial NFT collection, featuring 14 unique artworks from the Castlevania series, celebrating the iconic brand’s 35th anniversary.

The artworks consist of game scenes, background music (BGM), and newly drawn visuals from across the series’ history. The full collection will be put up for worldwide auction on the popular marketplace OpenSea from January 12 at approximately 5 pm (EST), with details of all 14 artworks and the auction itself to be published soon via the official website.

Konami Memorial NFT is a new initiative to share content that has been loved by players all over the world, for many years. As the company’s first project in this area and with NFTs and blockchain technology in its infancy, KONAMI will continue to explore new developments and listen to player feedback following this initial collection.

In recognition of 35 years of whip-cracking and vampire slaying, Konami has recently released Castlevania Advance Collection for PC and consoles, featuring three classic Game Boy Advance titles, and Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, an action-packed deep dive through stories past, for Apple Arcade.


Looking to the future of the Castlevania series, we will continue to support the titles currently available, while also assessing new opportunities for titles that will meet and exceed player expectations.
