Ubisoft, a renowned video game company, recently revealed the minting schedule for their first blockchain game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. The game’s Ethereum NFTs, known as “Warlords”, will be available for minting on December 18. Interestingly, Ubisoft is not following the traditional NFT launch model. Instead, they are offering 8,000 Warlord NFTs free of charge. The only cost to collectors will be the Ethereum network gas fees.
Understanding the Minting Process
The minting process for the Champions Tactics Ethereum NFTs is set to commence at 6am ET for those on the game’s “darklist”. The general public will be granted access to the mint at 2pm ET on the same day. In the NFT world, minting represents the initial sale of a project. In this case, Ubisoft is going against the grain by offering a large number of NFTs free of charge.
In the Champions Tactics game, Warlords are pixelated heroes equipped with weapons. They have been designed to resemble social media profile picture NFTs. Once minted, these NFTs can be used as in-game avatars.
The Perks of Owning a Warlord NFT
Ownership of a Warlord NFT comes with certain benefits. For instance, Ubisoft has announced that Warlord NFT holders will have exclusive access to the game’s next mint of playable characters. These owners will be able to mint five Champions Tactics characters for free at a future date that is yet to be determined.
While the Warlords NFTs will be minted on the Ethereum blockchain, the Champions Tactics game will be deployed on the Ethereum-compatible Oasys chain. Ubisoft plans to mint a total of 9,999 Warlords NFTs, with an additional 1,000 being distributed to the Oasys community and 999 being retained by Ubisoft for future marketing initiatives and giveaways.
Champions Tactics: A Sneak Peek
Although details about the strategy and gameplay of Champions Tactics remain scant, Ubisoft has shared some interesting lore. The game is set in the world of Grimoria, which is divided into seven factions each led by a war-hungry warlord. The factions are diverse, featuring characters that range from zombie-like creatures and demonic entities to medieval knights.
The game, which was first announced in June 2023, is expected to be released on PC in early 2024. Ubisoft has also hinted at collaborations with NFT gaming projects Pixelmon and CyberKongz, though the specifics of these partnerships remain unclear.
