AAA Studio Ubisoft to Develop Web3 Gaming
AAA gaming studio Ubisoft has partnered with blockchain game firm Immutable to develop Web3 games through its Strategic Innovation Lab. The partnership aims to combine mainstream gaming development quality with Web3-enabled functionality.
Ubisoft’s blockchain initiative head, Nicolas Pouard, praised Immutable’s existing blockchain infrastructure and experience in integrating decentralized functionality into games. Immutable co-founder and CEO James Ferguson emphasized the collaboration as an important milestone for the Web3 gaming sector.
The partnership follows successful demos of Immutable’s flagship titles, including Guild of Guardians, Metalcore, Shardbound, and Infinite Victory. Immutable has also launched the test network of its zero-knowledge rollup gaming solution Immutable zkEVM, which enables high-throughput, low-cost transactions for decentralized applications, services, and solutions.
The firm has rolled out two different ZK-based scaling solutions to date, including Immutable zkEVM, which operates on Ethereum layer-2 Polygon, and Immutable X, a separate rollup solution developed by ZK pioneers StarkWare. Immutable’s gaming platform provides infrastructure for gaming studios to build games running on the Ethereum blockchain. Web3 games are beginning to break into the mainstream gaming space as 2024 approaches.
