Ubisoft and Immutable have announced the launch of a new trading card game (TCG) titled Might & Magic: Fates, which expands the classic Might and Magic franchise.

The game will feature hundreds of unique cards, each with distinct abilities and mechanics, focusing on skill-based play rather than chance or monetary investment.

Immutable, known for its innovations in digital experiences, will integrate Web3 technology to enhance player engagement and ownership.

This announcement comes as Ubisoft has been navigating recent economic challenges, including commercial failures that led to financial instability earlier in 2025.

The release of 'Assassin's Creed: Shadows' has provided a temporary boost to Ubisoft's financial situation, highlighting the need for new revenue sources.

Ubisoft has been a pioneer among video game publishers in incorporating crypto elements into its games, with previous titles like Champions Tactics: Grimoria and Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.

Ubisoft assures players that Might & Magic: Fates will not employ pay-to-win strategies, emphasizing player skill for progression and competitiveness.

James Ferguson, CEO of Immutable, emphasized their alignment with Ubisoft's vision for the game, aiming to craft a beloved addition to the franchise.

More details, including gameplay footage and pre-registration opportunities, are expected to be revealed in the coming months, with a presentation scheduled for May 1, 2025.

In addition to the TCG, Ubisoft plans to release a non-crypto prequel titled Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, expected to launch in early access in Q2 2025.

The success of Might & Magic: Fates will depend on balancing traditional gaming elements with blockchain features, ensuring a seamless experience for both new and existing fans.

The Might and Magic franchise has a long history spanning 40 years, with millions of players worldwide, making this new installment a significant addition.
