Ubisoft to Launch First Web3 Game, Champions Tactics, on October 23

• Ubisoft’s new Web3 game, Champions Tactics, will be released on Oasys layer-2 Home Verse.
• The game features player-vs.-player battles with digital collectibles and champion creation through Web3 technology.
• Community feedback and balancing mechanics are key to ensuring the game’s sustainability and fairness.

Ubisoft, the developer behind popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six: Siege and Far Cry, is set to release its first Web3-powered game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, on October 23. The game will run on the Oasys layer-2 Home Verse, a blockchain ecosystem designed for Web3 gaming.

Sylvain Loe-Mie, the executive producer of Champions Tactics, highlighted the benefits of integrating Web3 technology, explaining how it allows players to truly own their in-game assets. He believes this sense of ownership fosters a deeper connection between players and their champions. Loe-Mie emphasized that this technology enhances the gaming experience without overcomplicating it for users.

Tactical Gameplay with Customizable Champions

Champions Tactics is a tactical role-playing game (RPG) focused on player-vs.-player (PvP) combat. Players can build teams using 75,000 unique digital champions, which can be traded or customized using the game’s “Forge” system. This system allows players to create new champions, but Ubisoft recognizes the challenge of maintaining balance to ensure fair competition. Loe-Mie assured that the company is committed to refining this system to deliver a rewarding and enjoyable experience for all players.

Community Feedback Shapes Development

Ubisoft has already conducted alpha and beta tests, gathering feedback from early players to help shape the game’s development. While the use of digital collectibles in Web3 gaming carries risks, such as market volatility, Loe-Mie stressed that the primary focus is on creating a sustainable game. By ensuring that the collectibles enhance the experience rather than dominate it, Ubisoft aims to create a stable and engaging environment for its players.

As the gaming industry continues to explore Web3 technology, Champions Tactics marks Ubisoft’s significant step into this evolving space, with an emphasis on fair play and long-term sustainability.
