The metaverse revolution –
Ubisoft has taken a first step in the realization of its metaverse through the launch of Ubisoft Quartz, a platform where players can obtain virtual objects certified and traceable on a blockchain. New players have raised hundreds of millions of dollars in recent months. Their games (“Axie Infinity” or “Blankos Block Party”), still confidential, allow users to own their avatars or plots of virtual land, which they can then resell to other players. Niantic, publisher of the “Pokémon Go” video game, has just raised $300 million to fund companies operating in the metaverse. The company quickly positioned itself on this technology from which “Pokémon Go” is derived, which has generated more than 5 billion dollars in revenue since its release.
