Ubisoft’s NFT tactics game dies October 30

*Ubisoft is killing Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on October 30, 2026.* That is about two years after the October 23, 2024 worldwide launch, and only months after the studio already started ripping the blockchain guts out of its own Web3 experiment.

If you never touched it, the short version is a 3v3 turn-based PvP tactics RPG set in Grimoria where the “collectible Champions” began life as NFTs on Oasys. The long version is a case study in how fast a major publisher can run the NFT playbook, then reverse course, then pull the plug.

The shutdown, in Ubisoft’s words

Ubisoft’s player-facing sunset note lays out the calendar without soft language:

Today, we’re sharing an important update regarding the future of Champions Tactics. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to sunset the game. The Champions Tactics servers will officially shut down on October 30. Until then, the game will remain fully playable, and our goal is to ensure that players can continue to enjoy the experience during these final months. As part of this transition, in-app purchases will be disabled on all platforms.

So: servers die October 30. You can keep playing until then. You cannot keep spending.
