Ubisoft, one of the well-established names in the video game industry, made statements at the beginning of November that they were interested in Blockchain technology and that they could launch their own private NFTs. In those statements, the company mentioned that they are arm in arm with many companies and are trying to learn technically how they can contribute to this huge ecosystem. Now, there has been an important development on the subject.
In the statements made by the company, it was announced that it officially entered the NFT sector. As of the coming days, the company will begin to distribute some special NFTs for the game Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which it published in 2019. In this context, some NFTs created will be distributed free of charge to all players. According to the company, NFT implementation in an AAA game is just an experiment for now. The final decision will be made in the coming periods.
Established a special platform for NFT management
Ubisoft established a new platform called “Quartz” to manage the sales transactions of NFTs it will create for games. This platform, which will be accessible within the scope of beta in the coming days, will be available in countries such as Brazil, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium and Italy, especially the USA and Canada.
The most controversial aspect of the crypto money world and Blockchain technology is the high energy consumption. Speaking about this issue, Ubisoft officials announced that they prefer Tezos instead of Bitcoin or Ethereum chains. According to Ubisoft officials, who also mentioned the benefits of this, any transaction on the Tezos blockchain has the same energy consumption value as watching a 30-second video.
NFTs created for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will actually appear in the kind known to many players. The company designed the NFTs it created as clothing and equipment skins that players can use during the game. In this way, players will be able to customize their characters and enter the world of NFT on the other.
