Ubisoft’s Blockchain RPG Has Game Breaking Issue

Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, a competitive NFT-based RPG recently released by Ubisoft, has been impacted by a single player’s game-breaking exploit. The user in question is making it impossible for others to play the game, with many quickly calling upon Ubisoft for assistance.

In late October, Ubisoft quietly released Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, a free-to-play blockchain-based RPG. Players were immediately perplexed by the game’s release, as interest in NFTs has become negligible over the past few years and Ubisoft’s previous attempts to utilize non-fungible tokens in its games went poorly. Not long after the title’s sudden drop on PC, Champions Tactics is already facing a major issue, with many players claiming that it’s currently impossible to play the game at all.

Rumor: Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Release Plans Are Getting Way More Aggressive

A new rumor indicates that Ubisoft plans to get much more aggressive with its Assassin’s Creed release plans in the near future.

According to a Twitter post made by user Jauwnio, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles has been unplayable since November 1 due to the actions of a single player. This malicious user has discovered an exploit in the turn-based RPG, allowing them to automatically win every battle before a match even begins. Curiously, the user, who appears as either Schilleri11 or Paulstar111 in Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, seems to be the only person players are matched with. The mysterious user currently sits at the top of the game’s rankings with over 56,000 matches played to date.

One User’s Exploit Renders Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles Unplayable

Players have flocked to the game’s Discord server to voice their frustrations and concerns over the state of the new Web3 RPG, with many expressing disappointment in Ubisoft for allowing a single player to ruin the title for everyone so soon after the title’s launch. On November 2, a moderator stated that the development team was aware of the issue and had banned Paulstar111 in an effort to remedy the issue as quickly as possible, with a concrete fix for the exploit coming soon. Unfortunately, some players claim that they are still being matched with the malevolent user.

Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is a fully PvP title without a campaign or PvE mode, meaning that the actions of this single player have brought the game to a standstill. Ubisoft has faced tremendous difficulties over the past few months, with the studio’s free-to-play shooter XDefiant rumored to be shutting down and Star Wars Outlaws failing to meet sales expectations despite initial hype. Additionally, Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed from November 2024 to February 2025, with fans of the franchise eager to see if the upcoming title can renew the community’s faith in the struggling studio.
