AAA gaming studio Ubisoft has partnered with blockchain game firm Immutable to develop Web3 games through its Strategic Innovation Lab. The collaboration aims to combine mainstream gaming development quality with Web3-enabled functionality, leveraging Immutable's blockchain infrastructure and experience integrating decentralized features into games. The partnership follows successful demos of Immutable's flagship titles and the recent launch of its zero-knowledge rollup gaming solution. Web3 games are gaining traction in the mainstream gaming space, with Illuvium Labs set to list its flagship title on the Epic Games Store.
Ubisoft is partnering with Immutable, the company behind the Immutable X blockchain, to create a "Web3 gaming experience" that will incorporate crypto infrastructure. The collaboration aims to offer players digital ownership through seamless integrations of NFTs. While details about the project remain scarce, it could involve a new blockchain game, an integration into an existing Ubisoft game, or a gamified experience where players can earn NFTs. This venture builds upon Ubisoft's previous forays into NFTs and blockchain gaming, including the release of Rabbids-inspired NFTs and support for Tezos NFTs in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
