Ubisoft will support the Cronos network, according to an announcement today, and the creator of Assassin’s Creed, Just Dance, and other massive gaming franchises will operate a node on the open-source network that is interoperable with both Ethereum and Cosmos.
In a post announcing the move, Cronos Labs said that Ubisoft will work alongside the developers to advance blockchain gaming, and they intend to tap the expertise of Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab.
Ubisoft first began experimenting in the blockchain space in 2018, starting with a Minecraft-like prototype called HashCraft that was never released. Later, the publisher launched a Rabbids-themed NFT experiment, a spinoff of NFT-based fantasy soccer game Sorare, and also put its Rabbids characters into the Ethereum metaverse game The Sandbox.
Ubisoft’s support of Cronos is just the publisher’s latest move to expand far and wide within the NFT gaming space, following years of prototyping and launching its own blockchain games, supporting various networks and platforms, and even investing in projects.
