HBAR Foundation announced today that games publisher, Ubisoft, has become a part of their governing council for the public DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology).
Ubisoft has been exploring different avenues regarding blockchain for quite a while, and in December, it launched its first NFTs within Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Regardless of making a special effort to deter speculators, the gaming communities reaction to its Quartz and Digits drive has been predominantly negative.
“At Ubisoft, we believe that the distributed ledger technology holds a key to the future of gaming by opening new opportunities for players to become true stakeholders of our games,”
“The Hedera network offers a promising take on this technology, notably through its scalability, energy efficiency and innovative consensus mechanism.”
Didier Genevois – Blockchain Technical Director at the Ubisoft
There are two main blockchain avenues for gaming: NFTs and play-to-earn, where the gameplay is designed to reward game players financially with tokens. So far, they’ve done NFTs. Ubisoft envisages a different approach for play-to-earn.
“It truly needs to be built from scratch because it’s a very different way to think about the game economy and the monetisation.”
Nicolas Pouard, Ubisoft
