The company, Ubisoft, recently revealed its upcoming Web3 game, titled Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. This player-versus-player (PvP) tactical role-playing game (RPG) is set to provide an immersive gaming experience for PC players.
Although no screenshots have been released, a teaser trailer provides glimpses of the game’s fantasy world. The brief footage showcases figurine-like silhouettes of fantasy characters, suggesting an aesthetic inspired by physical tabletop games.
In Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, players will have the opportunity to assemble a team of mythical Champions and engage in thrilling tactical battles against other players. The game promises to unveil the legends of the dark and mystical world of Grimoria, inviting players into a captivating narrative experience.
What sets this game apart is its foundation on the Oasys blockchain network, a gaming-centric blockchain infrastructure that has attracted interest from other industry giants like Square Enix, Sega, and Bandai Namco. Ubisoft’s adoption of Oasys marks the studio’s first game built on this blockchain platform, reflecting its commitment to exploring the potential of blockchain technology in gaming.
The official website hints at a “free drop at launch,” implying that Ubisoft may offer NFTs or tokens necessary for gameplay initially at no cost.
Nevertheless, Ubisoft remains undeterred and continues to explore the Web3 space. The studio has forged partnerships and ventured into blockchain gaming, such as releasing Rabbids characters in the Ethereum metaverse game, The Sandbox.
Additionally, Ubisoft experimented with Rabbids-themed NFTs to support UNICEF in 2020 and launched One Shot League, an Ethereum NFT fantasy soccer game spinoff of Sorare, in 2021. Also, Ubisoft partnered with Integral Reality Labs to launch Assassin’s Creed Smart Collectibles in 2023.
Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is poised to be Ubisoft’s next milestone in Web3 gaming. As the studio ventures further into the blockchain realm, this PvP tactical RPG holds the potential to revolutionize the genre and deliver a unique gaming experience for players. The fusion of Ubisoft’s creative prowess with the innovative capabilities of the Oasys blockchain network promises to shape the future of gaming.
