Ubisoft Teams With Double Jump.Tokyo to Bring Web3 Elements to Its Games

Famously known for its AAA game franchises, French gaming publisher and developer Ubisoft is advancing its Web3 and blockchain endeavors. Last week, the company forged a partnership with Double Jump.Tokyo, a developer specializing in Web3 elements and gaming, to integrate such elements in some of its games moving forward.

The first stage of this partnership will see the issuance of non-fungible tokens for Champions Tactics, a tactical role-playing game (RPG) currently still under development at Ubisoft. For this task, Double Jump.Tokyo will be using Home Verse, an L2 structure on top of Oasys, a gaming-oriented blockchain, due to its high transaction speeds and zero gas fees.

Ubisoft has been consistently trying to add Web3 elements to some of its franchises, to mixed reactions. The company has also invested in Web3 startups like Animoca Brands and launched an in-house NFT platform in 2021.

Speaking to the benefits of this particular alliance, Didier Genevois, Ubisoft Web3 Technical and Product Director, said:

We’re always on the lookout for new partnerships that take gaming and entertainment to the next level. We think this partnership will offer valuable insights on how decentralized technology can mix with gaming.

Double Jump.Tokyo will help the project reach Asian gamers more easily, facilitating the entrance to the Asian market. “Partnering with a renowned global industry leader like Ubisoft empowers us to continue our unwavering pursuit of delivering exceptional games to communities while accelerating the worldwide adoption of web3 gaming technology,” said Hironobu Ueno, CEO of Double Jump.Tokyo.

Both Double Jump.Tokyo and Ubisoft are validators on Oasys, the blockchain that hosts Home Verse.
