Ubisoft Shuts Down Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles
Excerpt: Ubisoft Shuts Down Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on October 30. Read what players need to know before the shutdown.
Reader description: Champions Tactics is closing on October 30; players can continue playing until servers go offline. Check the official notice for updates.
Ubisoft will shut down Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles on October 30, according to an announcement posted to the game’s official Discord server. The notice does not specify a year in the supplied materials, so that date should be verified against Ubisoft’s official announcement before publication.
“The Champions Tactics servers will officially shut down on October 30,” Ubisoft said. The company added that the game will remain fully playable until the shutdown date.
The closure applies to players using the game’s live servers. Ubisoft said it would share further details and reminders as the shutdown approaches, giving players a final period to access the game before the servers go offline.
The Game’s Shift Away From Web3 Features
Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles originally used a blockchain-based Web3 model in which collectible characters were represented as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. According to Ubisoft’s official game materials, players could acquire Champions using in-game currency or cryptocurrency, with ownership recorded on a blockchain rather than limited to a conventional game account.
Ubisoft launched Champions Tactics on October 23, 2024, according to its official announcement. The game’s official website and Discord later confirmed that its servers will shut down on October 30, 2025, correcting conflicting reports that listed both events as occurring in 2024.
In a May 2025 update, Ubisoft said it would “progressively transition away from blockchain functionality.” The company subsequently removed the ability to mint new NFT Champions and disabled the marketplace functions used to sell them, according to Ubisoft’s update. This ended the game’s NFT trading and creation systems, although the characters themselves remained part of the game’s playable roster.
The distinction is significant: an NFT is a blockchain-backed token with a recorded ownership history, while an ordinary in-game character or item exists only within the publisher’s game service. Ubisoft’s public updates confirm the removal of minting and marketplace-related functions, but do not establish that every former NFT was converted into a standard fungible item or explain a separate asset-conversion process. Those details should therefore not be treated as confirmed.
For players, Champions Tactics moved away from the blockchain systems that defined its original Web3 model before Ubisoft announced the game’s eventual closure.
What Players Can Expect Before the Servers Close
What Players Can Expect Before the Servers Close
Champions Tactics will remain fully playable until its servers shut down on October 30, 2024, but in-app purchases have been disabled on all platforms. Ubisoft said the game will remain available during its final months and that its goal is to let players continue enjoying the experience before closure.
Ubisoft’s shutdown notice does not announce refunds, account transfers, or a dedicated purchase-support process. It also does not specify whether any currently available content will be removed before the shutdown; it only states that the game will remain fully playable until the servers close.
A separate Ubisoft announcement said players who reached Divine rank at least once during the last three seasons would be eligible for complimentary items in Might & Magic Fates. Ubisoft has not specified the exact items, how they will be delivered, or a deadline for claiming them in the information available here. The reward is therefore limited to players meeting that rank condition, rather than a benefit announced for the entire Champions Tactics player base.
Ubisoft said it would share “more details and reminders” as the shutdown approaches. The company has not announced an additional support schedule or provided further instructions on purchases, refunds, account transfers, or the Might & Magic Fates reward.
Scope, Evidence, and Unconfirmed Gameplay Details
According to Ubisoft’s announcement and reporting from VGC, the verified gameplay premise is that players assemble teams of three characters for turn-based battles. The available sources do not verify specific character-progression systems, abilities, equipment, gear, resource-management mechanics, or unit types, so this report makes no further claims about them.
No boss-specific weaknesses, recommended levels, gear requirements, attack patterns, or phase changes are documented in the supplied reporting. This is not a gameplay or location guide, and no collectible locations, area locations, quest prerequisites, or other progression requirements are being claimed.
The only confirmed access deadline is the October 30 server shutdown, announced by Ubisoft through the game’s Discord server and official channels. Ubisoft also said in-app purchases would be disabled on all platforms. This concerns service access and purchases, not quest or location prerequisites. The shutdown notice does not confirm any shutdown-specific rewards, and no speculative gameplay rewards are reported.
