A couple of weeks ago, Square Enix filed a trademark in Japan for the term Symbiogenesis. With the word’s definition being the basis for the 1995 classic Parasite Eve, it drummed up hype that a remake announcement was imminent.
Oh, how silly of us to put so much faith into Square Enix in the year of our lord 2022, because sike! It’s not a Parasite Eve remake at all. Instead, the publisher has unveiled a new “collectible art” NFT project. In a 30-second trailer backed by an utterly ear-splitting invasive song, Square Enix proudly proclaims “untangle the story” before revealing the logo for the project and its release date: Spring 2023.
