Ubisoft, renowned for creating popular video game franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, has forged an official partnership with the XPLA network, taking on the role of a node validator.
The collaboration, disclosed on XPLA’s Medium page, signifies Ubisoft’s proactive approach to embracing blockchain technology through its Strategic Innovation Lab, facilitating the convergence of gaming and blockchain realms.
XPLA stands to gain significant advantages from this partnership, as Ubisoft will utilize its vast game development expertise to ensure the security and efficient validation of transactions and data within the network.
By integrating Ubisoft as a validator, the XPLA ecosystem is poised to experience heightened performance, security, and transparency. This alliance aligns with XPLA’s vision of becoming a premier content hub for digital media and gaming, bolstered by notable validators and developers like Animoca Brands, Google Cloud, and Com2uS.
Beyond validation, Ubisoft will actively participate in governance proposal decisions, underscoring its deep commitment to shaping the future of the XPLA network.
Ubisoft’s involvement in blockchain dates back to 2018 when it began exploring blockchain gaming and NFTs, subsequently making strategic investments and partnerships in the field. The company’s expansion into the Cronos network in October 2023 and its collaborations with Immutable highlight its dedication to pioneering innovative gaming experiences through blockchain technology.
With Ubisoft’s active participation as validators on networks like Tezos and Hedera, it reaffirms its position as a trailblazer in advancing the integration of gaming and blockchain.
