Ubisoft is increasing its presence in the Web3 gaming space with the development of Might & Magic: Fates, a collectible card game featuring NFT integration. This move underscores Ubisoft's position as one of the few major gaming companies actively exploring Web3 technologies within its game portfolio. The game has nonetheless created some of the most skill-based competition, in-game accomplishments and novelty among the esports.
Skill-Based Progression in Might & Magic: Fates
Might & Magic: Fates prioritizes skill-based competition. The game’s progression system awards players for their strategic prowess and in-game achievements. Purposefully or not, this design creates a thrilling and lethal raceway.
Above all else, Ubisoft wants to provide a fair and fun world for their players. The company focuses on ensuring that success in Might & Magic: Fates is determined by skill rather than solely relying on NFT ownership.
The progression in Might & Magic: Fates is primarily driven by in-game accomplishments. This approach allows players to advance through the game by mastering its mechanics and achieving specific milestones, rather than relying on external factors.
Ubisoft's Web3 Initiatives
Ubisoft has become one of the most noteworthy gaming companies to actively dive into Web3 integrations across their game portfolio. Despite the controversies surrounding NFTs and blockchain technology in gaming, Ubisoft has remained committed to exploring the potential benefits of these technologies.
The company is convinced that Web3 can provide new, empowering, and creative means to attract players and develop their gaming journey. Ubisoft's continued investment in Web3 projects demonstrates its belief in the long-term potential of blockchain technology in the gaming industry.
Ubisoft launched Champions Tactics: Grimoria on Oasys’ Home Verse in late 2024. This strategy RPG featuring NFT gameplay features a whimsical “creature collection” concept, where players can own and trade their assets.
Oasys' Home Verse Integration
Grimoria was launched on Oasys’ Home Verse. This strategic move underscores Ubisoft’s dedication to using broader blockchain platforms designed specifically for gaming.
Home Verse is Oasys’ blockchain-powered, layer-2 network uniquely optimized for Web3 gaming experiences. It fosters a vibrant, scalable, and cost-effective environment for blockchain games to flourish. This environment addresses several key issues that have plagued other popular blockchain networks.
By launching Champions Tactics: Grimoria on Oasys’ Home Verse, Ubisoft aims to leverage the platform's unique features and capabilities to deliver a seamless and engaging Web3 gaming experience to its players. This unique partnership is a testament to Ubisoft’s commitment and forward-thinking mentality in leveraging new technologies and pioneers new, exciting ways to immerse players into the game.
