Ubisoft is one of the most famous and successful companies in the gaming industry. It has many studios around the world, and its games include famous series like Tom Clancy or Assassin’s Creed.

Three years ago, Ubisoft promised that it would make block-chain-based games, and now the time has come. The new Champions Tactics game is a web3-based NFT game.

Ubisoft’s stock is falling due to actions like delaying Assassin’s Creed Shadows. But now some of it may recover as one of the NFT titles that Ubisoft said it would develop in 2021, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, is here.

Why it matters: The game actually requires a Ubisoft account and an appropriate blockchain wallet to play, even though it is free to play and is promoted as a tactical role-playing game with a PvP focus.

Although the game is free to play, we already know that there will be in-game paid items. We must form squads of three characters to engage in turn-based combat similar to Darkest Dungeon in this web3 game, which is entirely PvP.

As we can see from the trailer, the characters function similarly to figures. The web3 factor arises when we recognize that, even though we will initially have characters to play as figures, we will eventually need to purchase additional figures in NFT format from other players using either cryptocurrency or the game’s points.

Currently, the prices of the figures for sale range from about $7 to over $60,000 for the most costly.

Following this one, there are other more that cost thousands of dollars, including one that costs $25,000. As we can see, the price increases significantly, but it appears that the high-end figures are priced at $330 and higher. So you would need that to compete with other players.

Since the game lacks a story/campaign mode or any other PvE features, player-on-player combat is the only option available, and the characters you choose will have an impact, which will make the game pay to win.
