Ubisoft Shuts Champions Tactics on Oct. 30 After 75,000-NFT Web3 Push Fizzles

Summary
October 30 will mark the full server shutdown of Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, with Ubisoft already disabling in-app purchases across all platforms.
May 2026 began the game's Web3 retreat: Ubisoft cited infrastructure changes, locked player wallets and ended on-chain trading while temporarily keeping core gameplay online.
October 2024 launched Ubisoft's first Web3 game on PC with 75,000 digital Champions on Oasys, but NFT demand had cooled and a matchmaking bug hurt competitive play.
About 1,500 peak concurrent players followed its later free-to-play relaunch, which still failed to build a durable audience amid pay-to-win complaints.
The closure also fits Ubisoft's broader restructuring, where layoffs and studio shutdowns have accompanied cost-cutting and a pullback from high-profile crypto gaming bets.
