Ubisoft announces free Ethereum NFTs
In a strategic play, Ubisoft plans to release a series of profile picture NFTs (PFPs) linked to Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. Users interested in these NFTs will only need to cover the Ethereum network gas fees to mint them.
Designed to mirror the aesthetic of vintage pixelated heroes, the Warlords PFPs offer more than just a nod to nostalgia. According to Ubisoft’s official website, holding these NFTs grants early access to mint in-game Champions figurines, which will also be available for free.
A total of 9,999 Warlords NFTs are planned, with a distribution strategy that includes 8,000 for general mint, 1,000 reserved for the Oasys community, and the remaining 999 retained by Ubisoft for future marketing and giveaways.
Ubisoft’s marketing strategy extends to social media, where the company is actively engaging Twitter users. By liking, retweeting, and commenting on the announcement tweet, users can secure a spot on the allowlist for minting these NFTs. The company plans to randomly select 50 eligible users for this privilege, offering them exclusive access to a private Discord server dedicated to the game.
