Gaming Giant Ubisoft Introduces Ethereum NFT Mint for Champions Tactics
The Warlords PFP Collection
Gaming giant Ubisoft has announced a free Ethereum non-fungible token (NFT) mint for its highly anticipated game, Champions Tactics. The company unveiled “The Warlords PFP Collection” on Twitter, encouraging gamers to follow, like, retweet, and comment for a chance to participate in Ubisoft’s first-ever free mint on Ethereum.
Champions Tactics: A Web3 PvP Tactical RPG
Champions Tactics, a Web3 player-versus-player tactical role-playing game, is set in the dark and immersive world of Grimoria. Developed by the creators of the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise, Ubisoft plans to launch the game on PC in early 2023.
At launch, Ubisoft will offer a free drop of Champions figurines to commemorate the game’s release, as stated on the official FAQ page.
The Unique Warlords, Profile Pictures, and Early Access
According to the official website, Warlords are distinct digital collectibles that serve as profile pictures (PFPs) in Champions Tactics. Each Warlord also grants its owner early access to the in-game playable figurines known as Champions.
With 170 unique traits including armor, weapons, headgear, and more, each Warlord possesses its own individuality. Some traits are rarer than others, adding to the excitement of collecting these digital assets.
Ubisoft has decided to hold 999 random Warlords in a Market Vault for future giveaways, partnerships, and rewards. Additionally, the company will provide another 1,000 random Warlords to its partner, the Oasys blockchain, for distribution within its community.
Should any Warlords remain unclaimed at the end of the mint, Ubisoft plans to store them in a Treasury Vault for future community rewards, as stated by the company.
Claiming Your Warlord
Participating in the mint requires individuals to have a Ubisoft account and a compatible wallet, such as Metamask or Face Wallet, with sufficient ETH to cover the transaction fee. Although claiming a Warlord is free, gas fees do apply.
Once a Warlord is minted, owners will initially see a placeholder on the OpenSea marketplace or in their wallet. This is due to a “delayed Reveal,” which will occur once all Warlords have been minted or at the end of the Public Mint to ensure fairness and equal distribution.
The Mint Phases and User Tiers
The mint process consists of two phases: the Private Mint and the Public Mint.
The Private Mint, lasting 8 hours, is accessible to users selected for the Dark List, including Grim Guardians, OG Champions, and Champions. During this phase, Champions, OG Champions, and Grim Guards can mint up to 2, 3, and 4 Warlords, respectively.
Following the Private Mint, a 24-hour Public Mint will be open to all participants on a first-come, first-served basis. During this phase, each player can claim up to 2 Warlords.
It’s important to note that certain countries are restricted from playing Champions Tactics. These countries include Algeria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Burundi, China, Cuba, France, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Nepal, North Korea, Myanmar, Qatar, Russia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Crimea and Sevastopol, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
