Ubisoft Shuts Down NFT Tactics Game Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles This Month

Ubisoft’s NFT-based tactics game, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, will shut down in October 2026, according to announcements on the game’s official website and Discord channel.

Initially launched with blockchain-enabled features, the game had already begun transitioning away from Web3 elements earlier in the year. In May 2026, Ubisoft announced it would “progressively transition away from blockchain functionality” due to infrastructure changes affecting the supported blockchain systems ([pcgamer.com](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/ubisofts-nft-tactics-game-a-thing-that-still-exists-is-shutting-down-in-october/?utm_source=openai)). The closure this month marks the end of the game entirely, reflecting the company’s full exit from that project.

This shutdown highlights wider industry challenges. Web3 gaming continues to face sustainability issues, with a notable decline in funding and a wave of game closures and pivots to Web2 models. According to industry data, no blockchain gaming projects raised funds in September 2026, and the sector has seen mounting consolidation and retrenchment ([jrpg.com](https://jrpg.com/axie-classic-frenpet-and-the-audiera-crash-jrpg-crypto-games-podcast/?utm_source=openai)). Against that backdrop, Ubisoft’s cessation of Champions Tactics is consistent with broader retrenchment in NFT-driven gaming.

Ubisoft has not shared details about player compensation or formal timelines beyond the announcement, but the decision underscores a shift in strategy away from blockchain experimentation when faced with technical or economic limitations. Gamers and stakeholders will be watching whether other major publishers follow suit amid changing expectations for tokenized game features.
