Ubisoft Sets Release Date for NFT-Based Game ‘Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles’

Ubisoft, the renowned gaming company, has announced the release of its first original blockchain game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. Scheduled for launch on October 23, 2024, the game will be available on the Oasys Home Verse network, marking another step in Ubisoft's foray into Web3 gaming. The tactical role-playing game will allow players to collect digital "Champions" and engage in player-versus-player combat within a dark fantasy universe.

With a unique roster of 75,000 Champions, players can also use The Forge, a crafting system that allows them to combine and create new Champions with distinct traits. The game aims to blur the lines between Web3 technology and traditional gaming, according to Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft's Strategic Innovation Lab, who emphasized that blockchain features will operate seamlessly in the background to enhance player immersion.

Ubisoft has a track record of experimenting with blockchain-based gaming, having launched NFTs for its Ghost Recon: Breakpoint game in 2021. Additionally, Champions Tactics follows the company's recent announcement of Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., another NFT-powered title, which will be released on Ethereum’s Arbitrum scaling network.
