Ubisoft Confirms the Launch of Might & Magic: Fates, a New Free-to-Play Collectible Card Game

Ubisoft has confirmed the launch of Might & Magic: Fates, a new free-to-play collectible card game for iOS and Android, developed in partnership with blockchain platform Immutable.

Ubisoft and Immutable have teamed up to develop a new free-to-play collectible card game for iOS and Android: Might & Magic: Fates. The game, which is set to launch in 2025, will combine the traditional strategic gameplay of the Might & Magic series with Web3 elements.

Set in the fantasy world of Might & Magic, the game will allow players to collect and use cards featuring legendary creatures and heroes from the franchise. Each of the four factions—Haven, Abyss, Arc, and Spire—will have its own unique mechanics, catering to diverse strategic preferences.

The partnership will leverage Immutable's advanced blockchain gaming infrastructure, including its scalable Layer-2 networks, such as Immutable X for Ethereum and zkEVM for Web3 integration.

This collaboration marks a significant step in Ubisoft's broader strategy to introduce blockchain technology into its games, aiming to create a deeper level of engagement and ownership for players.

Earlier this year, Ubisoft announced its AAA partnership with Immutable, setting the stage for a joint venture to develop a triple-A game in a new franchise. The partnership will integrate Immutable's Web3 gaming solutions, including its flagship Immutable X layer-2 network, renowned for its high throughput and minimal gas fees, to enhance the gaming experience.

The partnership will also utilize Immutable zkEVM, a cutting-edge technology that seamlessly integrates the Ethereum ecosystem with the advantages of zero-knowledge proofs, enabling private and efficient smart contracts.

This collaboration builds on Immutable's history in developing and launching successful blockchain games, such as the popular Gods Unchained, a game that has achieved over two million user registrations and boasts a vibrant secondary market for in-game assets.

The company is known for its focus on solutions that place digital assets in the hands of users, aiming to foster a sustainable and engaging Web3 gaming economy.

Ubisoft has been experimenting with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology for several years, releasing games and digital tokens. The company is now aiming to solidify the use of blockchain in titles that will resonate with a broader audience.

In recent weeks, Immutable's native IMX token has seen a significant 55% increase, approaching the price level of $0,69. The increase reflects renewed market interest following the announcement of the joint project with Ubisoft.

At the time of publication, the price of Immutable (IMX) was quoted at $0,5898, showing a 8% increase in the last 24 hours. The token is currently trading at $0,5852, with a low of $0,5171 and a high of $0,6888 over the last 24 hours.

There is no official release date yet, but more information about development, previews, and early registration should be revealed soon.
