Following the recent announcement from Epic Games, Ubisoft also sharpens its vision to start gaming production with Web3 integration.
And given the latter’s high reputation, Ubisoft realizes this is an excellent opportunity to explore Web3’s potential benefits for the company.
So, if you’re curious about their first build-out in the space, let’s dive in!
The Alpha
Ubisoft, a leading video game publisher, recently revealed ‘Champion Tactics,’ its very first Web3 title that utilizes blockchain technology.
Prior to this, Ubisoft has been a critical player in the gaming industry for years now, having created several breathtaking games, such as:
By taking note of the successes these games have garnered, many degens are expecting a bullish outcome towards Ubisoft’s latest Web3 development.
Moreover, there’s no final release date as of the moment, but the company hints at publishing the game later in 2023.
About Champion Tactics
Champion Tactics is a P2P tactical role-playing game that allows players to interact with each other in a virtual environment.
Although the game’s official announcement teaser shows off high-quality graphics, there are still no signs of actual gameplay footage.
But despite not having enough revealment, players remain optimistic about the game’s final approach because they recognize Ubisoft’s competency when it comes to delivering fun and addictive gameplay.
In addition, the game also aims to offer players a unique blend of tactical strategy, competitive gameplay, and true ownership of in-game assets.

More details about Ubisoft’s latest development
The game also integrates blockchain technology in its system to allow transactions and applications of digital assets in the game.
And Champion Tactics will run under ‘Oasys,’ a blockchain that offers complete decentralization and zero gas fees for gaming platforms.
In line with this, Oasys blockchain has existing partnerships with Ubisoft’s rival companies like Square Enix, SEGA, and Bandai Namco.
These major gaming companies also plan to incorporate the blockchain into their upcoming games, but Ubisoft currently seems the most ready to bring its blockchain-based game onto the table.
What does this mean for Web3?
Haven’t you noticed? Despite being in a bear market, companies are still eyeing to expand their businesses into Web3.
Why? Because Web3 offers a lot of exciting opportunities, opportunities that can further drive the success of their businesses.
Some would say that Web3’s dead, and others also say that the current bear market is a preparation for something more bullish than ever.
It actually depends. It depends on how you perceive it and how you act on it.
And by observing the decisions of these gaming companies, one can say that there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Conclusion
Several gaming companies have entered Web3 lately, producing games fused with blockchain technology.
However, most of them received negative feedback because these companies didn’t consider what players actually wanted to play.
Although adopting the hype is ideal, it’s also essential to consider other factors that could bring the trend in your favor.
This way, not only will it bring you good fortune, but also gain your target customers’ interests.
After all, Web3 is about the community. So, what do you think about this update?
