Gaming giant Ubisoft announced Thursday that it will releaseChampions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, its first original blockchain game, on October 23. The tactical PC role-playing game will be launched on theOasys Home Verse gaming network.

The game allows players to assemble teams of "Champions"—digital collectibles with unique abilities—to engage in player-versus-player battles in a dark fantasy setting. The game features 75,000 Champion characters and includes a crafting system called The Forge, where players can combine existing Champions to create new ones with different traits.

"With Champions Tactics, we aim for Web3 technology to seamlessly fade into the background, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the fun and strategy of the game," said Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft's Strategic Innovation Lab, in a release.

The game features 75,000 Champion characters and includes a crafting system called The Forge, where players can combine existing Champions to create new ones with different traits. The development team includes veterans who have worked on major Ubisoft franchises like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.
