Ubisoft’s blockchain forays face extra setbacks as its mysterious sport – Venture Q – was amongst three of its now cancelled titles. Introduced to a disenchanted and sceptical viewers, Venture Q was initially slated as a multiplayer and team-based battle enviornment.
For Ubisoft’s viewers, the scepticism got here from a number of the vocabulary used to explain the sport, which tipped them off to the truth that it might leverage blockchain expertise. The vocab is how Venture Q would enable gamers to ‘truly own the experience’.
True possession, after all, refers to using NFTs as a way to have gamers contribute and personal property inside a devoted in-game financial system. Since its announcement on Twitter, the corporate went on to disclaim that it might function digital property – but it surely was by no means absolutely confirmed or denied – which isn’t a great factor when assuaging buyer considerations.
Because the shuttering of Venture Q, Ubisoft’s CEO has since claimed that initiatives involving NFTs weren’t a lot lively initiatives as ‘research’, although this stays laborious to determine. Insider Gaming has since discovered that Ubisoft has shuttered the undertaking absolutely, and reallocated employees and budgets to different initiatives.
Working off the notion that Venture Q was an NFT undertaking, it might simply be the second of the corporate’s initiatives which confronted a really fiery reception from followers. Certainly one of its different initiatives being Quartz, which met virtually instantly with unfavourable viewers reception and a very hostile one from information shops.
