Ubisoft has quietly released an NFT game by the unfortunate name of Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. Yes, you read that right, and no, you haven't blacked out and woken up in the year 2022.
The tactical RPG was released last week as a free-to-play PC game, but you'd be forgiven for missing its launch completely, because Ubisoft doesn't seem like it's particularly eager to market the game.
There's no mention of its launch on the studio's X (formerly Twitter) feed from around launch day, nor does it appear on Ubisoft's YouTube channel, despite the fact that this is a game that was developed in-house by Ubisoft and not farmed out to a third party.
As noted by IGN, Champions Tactics' NFT system comes in the form of buyable figurines, which you can technically also craft using in-game currency. This being an NFT game, though, I'm assuming its in-game economy will incentivize you to buy NFTs.
According to IGN, figurines (i.e. characters) in Champions Tactics' NFT marketplace range from around $7 to an eye-watering $63,000, although whether the seller actually expects players to pay that much is another matter.
