Ubisoft cools off on NFTs and blockchain, says it’s in ‘research mode’

Yves Guillemot, the CEO of French gaming giant Ubisoft appears to have cooled the rhetoric behind the company’s NFT gaming project Quartz, noting in a recent interview that it was merely in “research mode” concerning Web3 tech integrations. It’s a relatively different take from other Ubisoft execs in the past, including chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet who in October stated that blockchain integrations will enable users to own and earn content and the firm wants to “be one of the key players here.” During a Sept. 10 interview with gamesindustry.biz, Guillemot appears to be walking some of those comments back, emphasizing that at this stage, Ubisoft is primarily looking to discover how NFTs can be applied to games and whether they will benefit gamers or not. “We are very much ...

HHW Gaming: ‘The Division 2’ Gets An Extra Life With The Arrival of Season 9 Roadmap

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 Remember Tom Clancy’s The Division 2? Well, it’s still here and is getting some much-needed new content. Ubisoft kicked the week off during a live stream event by announcing The Division 2’s season 9 road map. It seemed like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 was dying a slow death repeating previous seasons without adding any significant new content after initially supporting the game for years. During the live stream, Ubisoft promised The Division 2 would be getting more new content and that season 9, dubbed “Hidden Alliance,” would see new targets, new modes, and features and have new people working on the game. Returning is a mode The Division 2 players are already familiar with that will task them with hunting five spec...

White Star Capital raises $120M for Ubisoft backed Web3 investment fund

Tech venture capital firm White Star Capital has secured $120 million in funding for its second Digital Asset Fund (DAF II) to invest in crypto networks and early-stage blockchain and Web3 businesses. The fund is primarily backed by game publishing giant Ubisoft and will take a particular focus on decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming. It will invest as much as $7 million in each of 20-25 companies in North America, Europe, and Asia. The firm’s increased attention to DeFi, Web3, and blockchain-based technology suggests that it will begin to support companies that utilize or develop Metaverse solutions as well. This would bring it into the space in which Animoca Brands has carved out a neat corner for itself. White Star’s previous investments from its first DAF in 2020 include Stacks-base...

HHW Gaming Review: ‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök’

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is almost 2-years old, and yes, it’s still getting content added to it. The latest DLC, Dawn of Ragnarok, goes all-in on the Norse mythology, and it’s fun but isn’t the godly divine time we hoped it would be. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was the first next-gen game we played on our new Xbox Series X in 2020. At the time, we called the game another solid entry into Ubisoft’s now polarizing Assassin’s Creed video game franchise. What gave the game its legs after launch was its well-thought-out post-game DLC content that took Eivor to France and Ireland, continuing Eivor’s journey. We were most intrigued about Ubisoft Sofia’s Dawn of Ragnarok, which promised to give us a much differ...

HHW Gaming: ‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök’ Adds Some God-Like Flavor To The Franchise

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarök Since its 2020 release, Ubisoft’s latest entry into the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Valhalla, is still going strong thanks to solid post-launch content. The newest DLC, Dawn of Ragnarök, looks to give the game more legs well into 2022. Assassin’s Creed has always given its fans a mix of historical stealth action with a dab of mythology. With the Dawn of Ragnarök expansion, Ubisoft Sofia is doing things differently by fully embracing the Norse mythology introduced by Valhalla by allowing players to take control of the most legendary deity ever, Odin. In Valhalla, your character Eivor could speak with Valka the Seer, who blesses you with her special brew that allows you to take a trippy trip to Asgar...
