Ubisoft Enters the Blockchain Arena with ‘Might & Magic: Fates’ in Web3 Gaming Push
New Strategy Card Game Offers Digital Ownership and NFT Trading Powered by Immutable
In a bold leap into the blockchain gaming frontier, Ubisoft has teamed up with Web3 powerhouse Immutable to launch Might & Magic: Fates, a next-generation strategy card game built on NFT technology. The title aims to combine classic fantasy gameplay with blockchain-based digital ownership, offering players an immersive, skill-driven experience where trading cards isn’t just fun—it’s real.
Ubisoft Brings a Beloved Franchise Into the Web3 World
Set in the legendary Might & Magic universe, Fates introduces faction-based strategies, collectible cards, and legendary heroes in a free-to-play format. The game, which is slated for release on iOS and Android, empowers players to collect, customize, and trade NFT cards in a dynamic and competitive environment.
“The game is free-to-play with no hard progression barriers,” said Justin Hulog, Chief Studio Officer at Immutable.
“Players earn cards and currency through gameplay, but they can also trade or purchase specific cards through marketplaces.”
Unlike traditional games, the cards in Fates are blockchain-backed digital assets, meaning players truly own what they earn or buy.
Immutable’s Blockchain Tech Powers the Game
Web3 development studio Immutable, best known for its success with Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians, is providing the game’s decentralized infrastructure. Their gas-free, layer-2 scaling solution ensures seamless gameplay while enabling secure, player-owned assets.
Why This Matters:
-
Immutable’s zkEVM tech brings enhanced speed, security, and interoperability.
-
Gamers gain real ownership of their in-game items—a major shift from traditional gaming economies.
-
Might & Magic: Fates rewards player skill over pay-to-win mechanics.
“It’s not just about flashy NFTs,” said Immutable co-founder Robbie Ferguson.
“We’re building an ecosystem where gameplay and ownership coexist naturally.”
Ubisoft’s Growing Commitment to Web3 Gaming
Ubisoft has been among the few major studios willing to explore blockchain integration. The company’s Web3 journey began in 2024 with the announcement of:
-
Champions Tactics: Grimoria, released on the Oasys layer-2 blockchain
-
Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a Web3 shooter that merges characters from franchises like Far Cry, Rayman, Watch Dogs, and Assassin’s Creed
These titles represent Ubisoft’s effort to blend familiar IPs with decentralized game economies, showing a unique commitment to evolving how gamers engage with virtual worlds.
What’s Next for Web3 Gaming?
With Might & Magic: Fates, Ubisoft is doubling down on blockchain integration, betting on a future where players expect more than just gameplay—they expect ownership, flexibility, and economic opportunity.
This could be a turning point not just for the Might & Magic series, but for mainstream gaming as a whole, as blockchain gradually becomes less of a buzzword and more of a backbone for next-gen gaming.
