• Ubisoft teams up with Immutable to launch Might & Magic: Fates as a Web3 card strategy game.
  • Past NFT game experiments by Ubisoft struggled, but Immutable’s strong ecosystem could change that.

Ubisoft has made another breakthrough. This time through the official announcement of its latest game, Might & Magic: Fates, which is built with Immutable . This game is a Web3-based digital card strategy and is scheduled to be released this year for iOS and Android devices.

Not an ordinary game, Fates is present as part of the legendary Might & Magic franchise, but with a new flavor: digital ownership and blockchain-based gameplay.

This game allows players to build decks from various cards representing heroes, creatures, artifacts, and magic from the Might & Magic universe. All played in fast-paced turn-based battles. But what makes it different is that these cards can be owned as NFTs. This means that players can trade their cards, without fear of losing control because everything is based on Immutable technology.

2 years ago we announced our AAA partnership with @Ubisoft . Today we're thrilled to finally be able to reveal the outcome: Might & Magic Fates, launching this year.

Ubisoft and Web3: Still Looking for the Right Formula

On the other hand, this collaboration comes after Ubisoft’s long track record in the challenging Web3 space. Just imagine if you release a game, but only 94 people play it. That’s what happened with Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., Ubisoft’s NFT game that launched quietly in December 2024.

Despite featuring iconic characters like Rayman, the gameplay was considered too simple and the onboarding was confusing. The result? Few enthusiasts.

Previously, in October 2024, Ubisoft also released Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, an NFT-based strategy game on the Oasys blockchain. Although not widely promoted, this game still attracted attention.

But, again, criticism came: the gameplay was confusing and the system was not transparent enough. It felt like Ubisoft was experimenting secretly to find the right formula.

Furthermore, the success of Might & Magic: Fates also depends on its new partner. Immutable is no small player. They have just announced 4 million registered users on the Immutable Passport platform, and there are already 440 games joining their ecosystem by the end of 2024.

In fact, as we previously reported , a major game project from Japan, Tokyo Beast, also chose Immutable as a bridge between traditional gamers and Web3.

Might & Magic: Fates might be a turning point. It’s not just about nostalgia, but also Ubisoft’s experiment that (this time) is equipped with a more mature infrastructure. With the support of Immutable and a community that is increasingly open to digital assets, the opportunity for success is wide open. But of course, it all still depends on one simple thing: is the game still fun?
