With this partnership, Immutable said it will continue in its ambition to bring digital ownership to players, while Ubisoft pursues its exploration of decentralisation through its Strategic Innovation Lab.

The Lab analyses emerging technological, business and societal trends to identify opportunities for innovation.

The team also develops prototypes and pilot projects to explore new areas, in collaboration with internal and external partners. This exploratory role allows Ubisoft to get a head start in identifying innovative ideas and assessing their potential, before eventually integrating them into the company on a larger scale.

The first step of this collaboration will define how both companies will combine their expertise.

Ubisoft will leverage its robust experience developing quality games with Immutable’s vast ecosystem, technology and expertise in building a Web3 gaming platform.

Nicolas Pouard, VP at Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab and head of its blockchain initiative said, “As the platform of choice for many leaders within the Web3 community, Immutable offers both cutting-edge technology and a unique expertise in seamlessly integrating decentralised technologies into games.

“We’re excited to partner with them and look forward to bringing that level of fluidness within a full-fledged game, so players only have to focus on the fun of the experience.”

The partnership for Immutable signifies follows successful TestNet launch of their zk roll-up gaming solution Immutable zkEVM, and successful game demos for their flagship titles, Guild of Guardians, Metalcore, Shardbound and Infinite Victory.

James Ferguson, CEO and co-founder at Immutable said partnering with Ubisoft is a defining landmark for Immutable.

“We couldn’t be more excited to explore with Ubisoft the benefits of web3 and digital ownership for players. We plan to bring the full weight of our ecosystem to bear to ensure the partnership’s success. We are confident that we will bring to life a fresh new experience that players will love,” he said.

In October this year, Immutable partnered with AWS for a number of infrastructure and go-to-market initiatives designed to accelerate the onboarding of game studios to Web3 and drive digital ownership of in-game items to millions of gamers globally.
