Ubisoft quietly launches blockchain RPG with playable NFTs priced up to $63K

Screenshot from the official Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles launch trailer.

In a move that seems to reflect an ever-greedier gaming industry insistent on selling us things no one asked for, Ubisoft has finally stealth-launched its first-ever PvP blockchain RPG title, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles — complete with playable-characters-as-NFTs, purchasable through in-game currency or cryptocurrency, as spotted by IGN.

What's notable here is the pricing scheme: the most expensive character at launch is Inquisitor Swift Zealot, which will cost a whopping $63,372.19 USD, converted from crypto. Other Champions (a total of 2732) are also available, with just one other costing tens of thousands ($25.1K for Glowing Beast) and the rest costing $5,000 or less. You can confirm these prices and more on the game's official Marketplace page.
