Animoca Brands recently announced its partnership with Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Labs. The collaboration intends to support Animoca’s Mocaverse platform, which will help Ubisoft further its push into Web3.
This is the second time that Ubisoft is venturing into crypto gaming this month after it recently partnered with Immutable.
Champions Tactics and Mocaverse
Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, an upcoming NFT game from Ubisoft, will now be a part of the Web3 Frequent Player Program from cryptocurrency gaming company Animoca Brands.
As part of its NFT Membership project called Mocaverse, Animoca’s Frequent Player Program allows Moca ID owners to earn “Realm Points” through a variety of participation-based tasks, the company announced.
Yat Siu, Animoca Brands’ co-founder, and Executive Chairman, emphasized the collaboration’s aim to raise awareness and streamline user onboarding by leveraging Mocaverse’s program and incentives. Nicolas Pouard, Ubisoft’s VP of Strategic Innovation Lab, echoed the sentiment, affirming their pleasure in supporting Animoca Brands’ consumer-focused initiatives through Mocaverse.
Moca IDs are blockchain-based identifiers that are compatible with all of the games and cryptocurrency projects in the Animoca Brands portfolio. However, an Animoca blog post states that there’s a limit to Moca IDs, and only Mocaverse NFT holders can secure an ID. If not, fans will need to obtain a Moca ID by obtaining an invite code from an NFT owner.
Although more particulars about the partnership between Animoca and Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab are still to come, Ubisoft’s blockchain initiatives are said to be supported by the Mocaverse.
This is the second major collaboration Ubisoft has announced with a Web3 gaming company this month. Less than a month ago, Ubisoft and Immutable announced that they would be collaborating to create a cryptocurrency “gaming experience,” but gave no further details.
