Ubisoft is breathing new life into its long-running fantasy franchise with the announcement of Might & Magic: Fates, a strategy card game developed in collaboration with Web3 gaming platform Immutable.

The new title aims to modernize the Might & Magic universe for mobile audiences while integrating digital asset ownership through blockchain technology, according to an April 23 joint statement.

Set for release on iOS and Android, Might & Magic: Fates invites players into a tactical world built around customizable decks, iconic fantasy creatures, and faction-based mechanics.

The game will allow players to collect, trade, and strategize with hundreds of cards, offering rewards based on in-game progression and skill.

Ubisoft, known for major franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, emphasized the importance of staying true to the franchise’s roots while embracing new formats.

The title continues Ubisoft’s exploration of digital ownership and blockchain utility in gaming, a space the company has gradually entered over recent years through its Strategic Innovation Lab. Might & Magic: Fates is positioned as a franchise milestone, using modern tools to reach the next generation of players.

Nicolas Pouard, Vice President of Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab, said:

“This game will deliver a deep and rewarding experience for both long-time fans and new players alike.”

Immutable, the studio behind Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians, is providing the underlying blockchain infrastructure. Through its technology, players will be able to securely own and trade in-game assets without compromising gameplay speed or accessibility.

Immutable Chief Studio Officer Justin Hulog said:

“Ubisoft’s vision for Might & Magic: Fates aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance game ownership and player engagement. This collaboration pushes the boundaries of what AAA franchises can achieve in the Web3 space.”

The launch is seen as a milestone in the fusion of traditional gaming and blockchain innovation. While Ubisoft brings decades of storytelling and strategic design, Immutable adds blockchain fluency and a track record of successful Web3 games.

Additional gameplay footage and pre-registration details will be revealed in the coming months. The companies are scheduled to unveil more at a joint appearance on May 1.
