According to PANews, sources indicate that Tencent and the French Guillemot family are contemplating the acquisition of Ubisoft. The discussions are reportedly in the early stages and may not necessarily result in a transaction. One of the possibilities being considered is the privatization of the company through a joint effort. Ubisoft's European shares have declined by 54% this year, with a market value of approximately 1.4 billion euros (1.5 billion USD). As per Ubisoft's latest announcement, Tencent holds 9.2% of the net voting rights as of the end of April, while the Guillemot family owns around 20.5%. This news led to a 10% surge in Ubisoft's U.S. shares, prompting a trading halt. Spokespersons for Ubisoft and the Guillemot family declined to comment, and a representative from Tencent was not immediately available for comment.#Tencent #GuillemotFamily #Ubisoft #Acquisition #Privatization #Shares #MarketValue #GamingIndustry

Didier Genevois, Ubisoft's Web3 Executive Producer, stated in a press release, 'By integrating Web3, we enable our community not only to play the game but also to shape its future.'

According to Blockworks, Automobili Lamborghini and Animoca Brands are collaborating to introduce Lamborghini sports cars into the metaverse through the upcoming platform, Fast ForWorld.

To access the ecosystem, fans will need to purchase a Lamborghini Revuelto digital asset, which will be available in November. Fast ForWorld is being developed by Gravitaslabs, a Web3-focused game design technology company and partner of Animoca Brands.
In another development, gaming giant Ubisoft is set to launch the “Niji Warrior ID Cards” NFT collection on the Arbitrum layer-2 via the Magic Eden marketplace. This collection will consist of 10,000 NFTs and will feature dynamic metadata that reflects player activity in Ubisoft’s upcoming multiplayer shooter game, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. The game is inspired by Ubisoft’s popular Far Cry series and has an accompanying animated TV series on Netflix titled “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.” This marks Magic Eden’s first NFT deployment on Arbitrum and Ubisoft’s second venture into blockchain gaming, following the gothic-themed RPG Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, which is set to launch on the Oasys layer-1 blockchain.
Additionally, the NFT market has seen significant activity, with the Pods dapp recording approximately 475,000 mints and $1 million in mint volume over the past year. However, NFT trading volumes have declined to 115,000 ETH for September, the lowest since January 2021, and the number of unique NFT buyers has dropped to 30,000.

According to Odaily, Ubisoft's recently launched NFT role-playing game, 'Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles,' has encountered a significant exploit. A player, known by the usernames Schilleri11 or Paulstar111, has reportedly found a way to achieve 'automatic victories,' disrupting the normal ranking matches for other players. This player has been recorded as having participated in over 56,000 matches, consistently winning each one without any clear explanation of how they managed to match and win so many games automatically.
Players have expressed their frustration on the game's Discord server, reporting that whenever they attempt to start a competitive match online, they are invariably matched against this player and lose automatically, even before the match begins. Discord administrators have acknowledged the issue and stated that the team is aware of the problem. They have banned the player in question, but some users have reported that the account remains active, continuing to affect the game's competitive integrity.#Ubisoft #NFT #ChampionsTactics #GrimoriaChronicles #videogames #gamingnews #exploits #Discord #competitivegaming #gamingcommunity
