Ubisoft is about to launch its first Web3 game, “Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles.” This game, which will be available from October 23, is built on the Oasys blockchain, a platform known for its focus on the gaming sector.
Renowned video game developer, Ubisoft, known for iconic titles such as Assassin's Creed y Far Cry, has announced the launch of its first Web3 game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, scheduled for October 23.
This new title will be developed on the Oasys blockchain and promises to transform the gaming experience by integrating blockchain technology into its operation. Ubisoft's initiative not only represents an expansion in its product offering, but also reflects the growing relevance of blockchain technology in the digital entertainment industry.
An initiative that promises interactivity and ownership
The integration of blockchain technology into Ubisoft’s new game promises a new dimension of interactivity and ownership for players. With this initiative, the company will not only diversify its game portfolio, but will also take its place at the forefront of innovation in the gaming industry, leveraging blockchain technology to deliver richer and more immersive gaming experiences.
Experts have commented that this recent move by Ubisoft is indicative of the growing trend of incorporating emerging technologies into video game development, which could redefine the way players interact with games and with each other.
The ability for players to own and trade their characters and items as digital assets marks a significant shift in how objects are perceived within video games. This digital ownership not only provides players with a sense of ownership, but also opens the door to new market dynamics in the gaming space.
What is Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles?
Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game (RPG) which allows players to create teams of mythical champions to participate in exciting PvP battles, a player versus player game mechanic.
With a total of 75.000 collectible champions in Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, each with unique abilities and traits, players will have the freedom to customize their teams and develop strategies to overcome their opponents. This variety of characters is one of the aspects that sets this game apart in the current industry landscape.
On the other hand, Ubisoft reported that its new title will feature a forging system, which will allow players to combine attributes of their champions to create new ones, adding a layer of complexity and strategy to the game.
Nicolas Pouard, Vice President of Ubisoft Lab, has highlighted that the integration of Web3 technologies, specifically blockchain, seeks to improve the player experience without it becoming a burden. This means that, although blockchain technology will be present, its use will be fluid enough not to distract players from the fun and strategy of the game.
Ubisoft's need to integrate blockchain
Ubisoft's decision to incorporate blockchain technology into its business model responds to a growing trend in the video game industry. Players are looking to enjoy more immersive and meaningful experiences, and blockchain technology offers an innovative solution to this need. As explained by this media, it is an innovation that allows players to have Real control over your digital assets, creating a deeper bond with the game and its characters.
On the other hand, blockchain implementation can also contribute to the economic sustainability of the game. Unlike traditional models, where in-game items are merely temporary and cannot be traded, blockchain technology allows these assets to have real value on the market. This can incentivize players to invest more time and resources into the game, knowing that their efforts can translate into tangible benefits.
Additionally, Ubisoft has already explored the use of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in previous projects, such as the collection of The warlords, which managed to raise more than $2 million in sales in the secondary market. This previous experience provides the company with a solid foundation on which to build its new title, while demonstrating its commitment to innovation in the sector.
