Plans to combine the popular Watch Dogs franchise from Ubisoft with the Ethereum-powered card game Cross the Ages have been made public. With this partnership, we hope to bring special in-game cards that draw inspiration from the adored Watch Dogs series, giving gamers an exciting new gaming experience.
The choice to bring Watch Dogs into the NFT space is indicative of Ubisoft’s continued dedication to cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies. The massive gaming company has demonstrated by its prior initiatives, like the release of Ethereum profile picture (PFP) NFTs and the introduction of NFTs on Tezos for Ghost Recon Breakpoint, that it has been actively investigating prospects in this field. With its backing of many initiatives and the impending launch of an original blockchain game called Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on Oasys, Ubisoft is furthering its entry into the blockchain gaming space.
The platform that Ubisoft uses to integrate the Watch Dogs universe is called Cross the Ages. NFT trade cards powered by Immutable X, an Ethereum scaling network, are used in this card-battling platform. Cross the Ages, a game developed with support from Ubisoft, brings a strategic gaming experience to iOS, Android, Windows PC, and macOS. A $12 million fundraising round in March 2022 saw Ubisoft make a sizable investment in Cross the Ages, a game well-known for its difficult yet rewarding gameplay, underscoring its promise in the NFT-based gaming market.
The Watch Dogs series, with its examination of issues like technological hacking and surveillance, has had a lasting impression on the gaming community. The franchise has enthralled fans with its compelling storylines and rich open-world locations since its launch in 2014. Every episode, up to and including the most recent 2020 release Watch Dogs: Legion, has added to the history of the series by developing its central ideas and pushing the frontiers of interactive narrative.
