Ubisoft ventures in web3 gaming, to use blockchain technology in its upcoming title

Ubisoft has recently announced its venture into web3 gaming with the introduction of its first-ever web3 game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. This new game is set to be launched on the Oasys blockchain, which was established in February 2022 and has garnered support from major companies like Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, Sega, and Square Enix. Oasys positions itself as a specialised blockchain platform catering to the gaming industry.

Ubisoft remains positive about web3 technologies despite setbacks

Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, described by Ubisoft as a "PvP tactical RPG experimental game," is currently in development for PC. This move into web3 gaming comes after Ubisoft faced criticism for its previous blockchain project, Quartz, which included NFTs.

Ubisoft's CEO, Yves, confirmed the company's ongoing interest in web3 capabilities during an interview. Despite previous challenges encountered with Quartz and internal pushback from staff, Ubisoft continues to embrace the possibilities presented by blockchain technology.

Gaming companies who are venturing into web3

Other gaming companies involved with Oasys as validators have also shown interest in NFTs, blockchain, and web3. Square Enix, for example, recently unveiled Symbiogenesis, a unique turn-based adventure game, and offered Final Fantasy 7 NFTs as part of the game's 25th-anniversary celebration.

Sega, on the other hand, filed trademarks for projects named Sega Classics NFT Collection and Sega NFT, expressing a willingness to experiment with NFTs and play-to-earn initiatives while considering user feedback. Ubisoft's entry into web3 gaming through Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on the Oasys blockchain demonstrates the company's dedication to exploring the potential of blockchain technology within the gaming industry.

Despite past challenges, Ubisoft remains committed to pushing boundaries and leveraging web3 capabilities to provide players with innovative gaming experiences. As the web3 gaming landscape continues to evolve, Ubisoft's involvement signals a growing interest and potential for further integration of blockchain technologies in the gaming industry.
