Ubisoft Jumps into Web3 with Champions Tactics
Ubisoft jumps again into the world of web3 gaming with the announcement of a brand new recreation in improvement known as Champions Techniques. Although we all know nearly nothing concerning the recreation, some are already heralding it because the ‘savior’ for blockchain gaming!
This isn’t the primary foray into web3 gaming for Ubisoft. Maybe most notably, they added NFTs to Ghost Recon again in 2021 and acquired overwhelming criticism from their fan base. They acquired nearly no NFT gross sales, and the undertaking was rapidly shutdown. However now they’re again, constructing a recreation particularly for web3 known as Champions Techniques.
Champion Techniques will save blockchain gaming?
Whereas Ubisoft is a giant identify to get entangled in web3 gaming, their playerbase has not confirmed receptive to blockchain prior to now. And Ubisoft can be infamous for loading their video games with micro-transactions. So we’ll see what comes of this newest undertaking.
Now we have just about zero details about the sport. We all know that it’ll run on the Oasys sidechain, it would run on PC with its personal recreation shopper, and the official tagline describes it as, “A brand new PVP Tactical RPG set at midnight and mystical world of Grimoria”.
Hopefully extra shall be revealed quickly. Control their website and Twitter account, and be part of their Discord for future updates on the sport.
It’s astounding to me generally at how little each players and crypto lovers appear to know concerning the present state of web3 gaming. They’re satisfied that web3 gaming is nothing greater than pyramid schemes, playing websites, and click on to earn sort websites. Different articles about this announcement from Ubisoft usually recommend the way it would possibly ‘revive curiosity in NFTs’ or ‘save blockchain gaming’!
Whereas some tasks could battle, there may be nonetheless loads of curiosity in NFTs and the numbers for blockchain gaming proceed to develop on a weekly foundation. Clearly, I’m immersed within the web3 gaming scene, so my perspective is a bit skewed. However it additionally reveals an absence of profitable advertising and marketing (although I suppose it doesn’t assist that only a few web3 video games are literally keen to ‘launch’ their recreation — Gods Unchained is happening 5 years of beta now) and the way rather more potential there may be for growing the web3 playerbase!
What’s Oasys?
Oasys is a comparatively new blockchain that claims to be optimized for gaming. It encompasses a proof of stake system and runs as a sidechain to Ethereum, promising zero fuel charges for customers. Oasys isn’t a decentralized blockchain nevertheless. It runs with 21 validators, all chosen by the Oasys staff.
Oasys pitches itself as a blockchain for video games, they usually appear to be attracting some consideration, with each SEGA and Ubisoft lately asserting plans to construct web3 enabled video games on the Oasys chain! As well as, each firms are working as validators on the community. Among the many different validators are Sq. Enix and YGG Guild.
To be taught extra about Oasys, go to their website, observe them on Twitter, and be part of their Discord.
