Ubisoft Announces New Web3 Game Developed on Blockchain Platform Oasys

Summary: Ubisoft, a well-known game developer, has been experimenting with blockchain technology. They recently announced their next game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, a PvP tactical role-playing game. The game will be built on Oasys, a blockchain network tailored for the gaming industry.

Ubisoft, the developer behind franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, was one of the first large conventional game publishers to experiment with blockchain technology, and the company has continued to do so despite negative reception from gamers. The developer has just announced their next Web3 title.

Player vs Player

Unannounced until late last week, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is a brand new PC game that bills itself as a PvP tactical role-playing game, enticing players.

There are no available pictures, and the teaser video provides just brief views of the fantastical setting. However, it depicts what seem like the shapes of fantasy figures, indicating a design that might be directly inspired by the visual style of traditional board games.

Rise of Oasys

So far, Square Enix, Sega, and Bandai Namco have all shown interest in Oasys, a blockchain network tailored specifically to the gaming industry, and Ubisoft has announced that their next game, Champions Tactics, would be developed on the same platform.

Furthermore, the official website has been teasing “free drop at launch” to enable gameplay and the game will be available on PC through a separate desktop program, thus it is not a web-based game. This indicates that Ubisoft may demand a non-fungible token (NFT) or token to play Champions Tactics, but will provide them for free at launch.

Backlash Over NFT Introduction

Moreover, When Ubisoft announced in late 2021 that the PC version of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will have limited edition NFT-based products, it generated quite a stir in the gaming community.

Also, that pilot program’s release, the most publicized incorporation of NFTs into an established mainstream market game, was greeted with widespread user dissatisfaction. Many players are wary of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) because they worry about things like digital asset speculation, NFT frauds, and publishers using NFTs to attempt to extort more money from users.
