The closure of Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles marks the end of Ubisoft's specific NFT-integrated gaming experiment.
Ubisoft will shut down *Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles*, an NFT strategy game that included Web3 support, Engadget reports. The company announced that servers for the title will officially close on October 30.
As reported by Engadget, the decision follows a May announcement in which Ubisoft stated it was transitioning the title away from Web3 functionality. A core feature of *Champions Tactics* allowed players to mint and trade battle units via a blockchain marketplace using digital currency.
Engadget notes that the game's release in 2024 occurred well after the peak of the NFT trend in 2021. Despite the shutdown, Ubisoft is attempting to migrate the existing player base to a deck-building title called *Might and Magic Fates* by providing in-game rewards. According to Engadget, *Might and Magic Fates* allows users to buy and sell cards using either cryptocurrency or cash.
Details regarding the closure were shared via the game's official Discord, a move Engadget attributes to reporting from Kotaku.
