Ubisoft’s highly anticipated game, Champions Tactics, saw its non-fungible token (NFT) collection “The Warlords” completely minted in less than ten minutes.
The announcement of the public mint opening on X (formerly Twitter) on December 18 at 9:59 pm swiftly led to the entire collection of 9,999 NFTs being minted out by the time the minting concluded at 10:08 pm.
Initially revealed on November 17, “The Warlords” collection was strategically launched to coincide with the upcoming release of Champions Tactics, a PvP tactical role-playing game.
The NFTs, kept under wraps as a surprise, could be unveiled by their owners roughly half an hour after the collection was completely sold out.
Designed to serve as both profile pictures (PFP) and gateways to early access for in-game playable figurines known as Champions, the NFTs in this collection marked another success for Ubisoft in the realm of Web3 initiatives.
Ubisoft’s previous endeavors in May, including a collaboration with Integral Reality Labs (IRL) for an NFT collection featuring characters from the renowned Assassin’s Creed series and a partnership with Reddit to integrate the beloved Rabbids franchise into the NFT domain, have further solidified its position in the space.
While concerns about the NFT market’s stability persist, events like the quick sellout of “The Warlords” collection challenge the prevailing narrative. Notably, data reflecting positive trends in the NFT market have been evident since November, signaling optimism, though not yet reaching the levels seen during the boom of 2021 and 2022.
