- World-Known game studio Ubisoft and Hashed accelerator joins the advisory board of Nine Chronicles.

With over 60,000 beta signups and Ubisoft on board, Planetarium is ready to kick-off tomorrow, July 15th, 2020, the first presale of the upcoming free-to-play, Role-Playing Game (RPG) “Nine Chronicles.”
Interestingly, Nine Chronicles is under development using Planetarium’s Libplanet, an Open Source blockchain engine written in C#/.NET for cross-platform games where developers can share their code. The game is going to be entirely decentralized, meaning that even Planetarium can not shut it down. Through the use of API, both players and developers can create new gaming experiences and third-party applications such as marketplaces, analytics websites, etc.
Planetarium is one of the five blockchain gaming studios selected in Ubisoft’s fifth entrepreneur’s lab season. With an announcement that came out yesterday, Ubisoft is joining the advisory board along with the blockchain-focused accelerator Hashed. Both partnerships will help the development company in Mainnet operations, advising on in-game economy design and growing its ecosystem.
Nine Chronicles has received overwhelming support from the gaming community and more than half of the beta signups where gamers without any blockchain experience. This remarkable information confirms that blockchain gaming can become mainstream and change the landscape once for all, with the right design and promotion.
