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.

In addition to the75,000 Champion NFTs minted on Oasys, Ubisoft alsolaunched 9,999 free Ethereum NFT profile pictures(PFPs) in late 2023 in a project called The Warlords. Those NFTs nowstart at a price of $60 worth of ETHon secondary marketplaces.

"This isn't GameFi—it's about pure, immersive gameplay that draws players in, while giving them the freedom to own their assets and shape the game's future,” said Executive Producer Sylvain Loe-Mie, in a release.

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great José Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
