Ubisoft’s got yet another NFT project, and man do I feel bad for the artists whose great work is being wasted on this garbage

Artwork from Champions Tactics, featuring a warrior wielding a thin blade with a horned helmet amidst burning ruins.

Despite the fact that we’ve sort of universally agreed that NFT games aren’t going to happen, the nature of game development makes it so we’re bound to be seeing doomed projects fly their unwanted freak flags high on the proud ship “Sunk Cost”. See, videogames take a few years to make, so whatever trend was popular a few years ago will only be surfacing now, unless you’re willing to go all Early Access about it (which plenty of NFT projects have).

Ubisoft has gotten a big run up and leapt onto the bandwagon already halfway to Oregon with Champions Tactics, a Web3 (that’s “NFT” in tech bro speak) PVP game which, looking at this trailer, has an art department that’s utterly wasted on it.
