NFTs, blockchain, web3… These are terms that whet the appetite of video game studios who still see this as untapped financial luck. However, these technologies are causing many players to be rejected. HE It doesn’t stop Ubisoft from being stubborn.
The French publisher introduced its new baby: Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles. No gameplay shown, but a simple teaser for what is described as tactical RPG betting played in PVP. It has an incredible feature planned for the PC as it wants to leverage the blockchain.
Ubisoft announces its first blockchain-based game
There are no details regarding the use of technology in the game itself. We only know that Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles will operate Oasys, a blockchain network dedicated to developers currently working on video games powered by publishers like Square-Enix or Sega. In any case, we suspect that all this will not be beneficial for players, His wallet was obviously targeted. As a reminder, blockchain is a technology that makes it possible to centralize and anonymize the data stored there. Especially used for cryptocurrency transactions, as well as for the sale of NFT. Needless to say, all this just scares gamers who see a certain opportunism in the studios.
This isn’t the first time Ubisoft has tried to leverage these technologies in their games. The French firm once launched Quartz, an NFT exchange platform. After a disastrous public reception, the studio backed out while stating that it did not intend to exclude these technologies in its future projects. Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles is one of them. You can easily imagine that unique items could be used in the game in NFT format, but nothing has been confirmed for now.
It remains to be seen what public could be seduced by a game using the blockchain if such a project is not condemned before it even goes live. The bad reputation of NFTs, a market that has collapsed in recent months, success would be a matter of miracle.
