Ubisoft Support Blockchain

It’s recently been reported that Ubisoft, the game developer giant will be one of the first major companies to support blockchain. Ubisoft believe that neither cryptocurrency nor decentralized apps will spread blockchain in the way gaming will.

Though many small game developing companies and indie developers have already created blockchain based games, distributed ledger technology has long been underestimated by large companies including Ubisoft.

Old players entering a new partnership

But the trend may be reversed, as Ubisoft established partnership with Ultra, a DLT-based blockchain gaming platform, similar to Steam but running on blockchain. Users can earn digital currency, as well as buy and sell games.

Ubisoft is a game developing giant behind many commercial hits such as Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. The company is an expert in making games people really like.

The large-scale professional approach to game development using blockchain is relatively new, as most blockchain games were created by passionate programmers or small enterprises. Maybe due to regulatory uncertainty usually associated with blockchain, the industry behemoths mostly kept it at safe distance. And now, Ubisoft is planning to produce blocks for Ultra’s blockchain UOS.

What does it mean for future?

This move is possibly done to grant UOS more trust, as Ubisoft is an influential company, and its hardware is now part of the blockchain. Approving transactions in UOS tokens together with other block producers. It is not hard to assume, that Ubisoft can begin developing blockchain-based games for Ultra.

But now it is just a hypothesis. We definitely know that Ubisoft is supporting a crypto gaming project.
