Global leader Ubisoft, famous for developing video games, announced their debut in the world of web3 gaming on October 23rd. Ubisoft launched its first web3 game titled, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on Oasys’ Layer-2 network HOME verse. Champions Tactics lets players engage in PvP battles within a dark fantasy realm while they get unprecedented control of in-game assets via blockchain. Each of the game’s 75,000 unique Champions have unique traits and skills which players use to strategise team-based battles. Forged with Ubisoft’s expertise from Assassin’s Creed and Heroes of Might & Magic, it’s crafted for both gamers and Web3 fans alike.
Champions Tactics offers customizable experience via Forge System where players manage and customise their Champions team for advanced levels. Oasys’ web3 technology provides players ownership control for assets in the game which translates into gameplay options for enhanced gaming. This showcases the successful fusion of blockchain elements in games for strategic outcomes.
While Champions Tactics focuses more on gamifying than pure blockchain gamefi, it signals a trend among video game makers tapping into the Web3 community to add blockchain benefits in a way gamers value it. Oasys’s layer 2 network enables HOME Verse’s fast processing speed that is highly desirable in video gaming, particularly where transactions occur frequently and real-time updates are key to user engagement. The blockchain is seen as offering not just unique ownership in-game but the prospect for creative development, leading a new wave in video gaming standards with its integrated Web3 functionalities.
