Ubisoft’s experience and plans with Web3
.
This isn’t Ubisoft’s first experience with Web3. In 2021, the company attempted to introduce NFT as part of the Ubisoft Quartz platform, which allowed players to purchase digital items to sell and share. At the time, Ubisoft executives, despite audience skepticism, believed that the introduction of NFT was a step toward a new gameplay paradigm, and that players «just didn’t fully understand» its value yet.
Champions Tactics features
Ubisoft emphasizes that the game was developed by Ubisoft Paris studio in collaboration with Strategic Innovation Lab and blockchain platform Oasys to create an innovative gaming experience. Champions Tactics includes the following unique elements:
- Procedural generation of one million figures with unique characteristics.
- Actives that can be changed based on players’ decisions.
- An open trading platform where users can form teams, similar to collectible card games.
Ubisoft aims to use Champions Tactics to explore new forms of game interaction and introduce elements of game ownership and sharing between players.
