Obviously not very aware of the opinion of the players, Ubisoft presents with great fanfare its blockchain video game that is already infuriating everyone. Explanations.
Surprise and last but not least, Ubisoft just announced a brand new game by the name Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles, either a tactical role-playing game whose gameplay is mainly geared towards PVP. Even if it is a rather classic game at first glance, one of its features is quite interesting since the work aims to exploit the blockchain. Either everything a player doesn’t want in 2023, we explain why.
A blockchain video game for Ubisoft
Other than that, we can’t discover any gameplay Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles We already know that it will be controversial for the use of the blockchain. As a reminder, the blockchain is a technology that makes it possible to decentralize and anonymize the data stored there. It serves as the basis for cryptocurrency transactions as well as selling NFTs. The same market that completely collapsed in 2023 and no longer really appeals to anyone. The simple lumping together of the words video game, blockchain, and NFT in the same sentence is enough to get the most open-minded gamer’s mind excited, as for many it’s often synonymous with disillusionment or even outright cheating. Obviously, with these types of games, it’s the target of your bank account and the commercial desire is taken to the climax by the publisher and developer.
The worst of the worst?
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Ubisoft has attempted to exploit this type of technology since the French-language publisher launched Quartz, an NFT exchange platform, in 2021. After an icy reception that was even disastrous for the company’s image, the idea was scrapped. But it is clear that the controversy of two years ago has not been enough since then Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles falls under the same register and the same ideas. For example, now, without getting too excited, we can imagine a title where the player’s inventory takes the form of NFT, although nothing is confirmed at the moment. Given the state of the NFT market, we have serious doubts about the feasibility of such a project, even though obviously anything is possible when it comes to video games, especially when it comes to money.
On your side, that PThink of this type of game that uses blockchain technology? Is it a project that interests you or, on the contrary, tends to scare you?
