Ubisoft is now a key investor in Frontier, an NFT project that is planning to launch a game later this year.

Frontier tweeted out the news earlier today, with the official Ubisoft account replying shortly afterwards. The project is seeking to utilize Ubisoft's experience in shipping a game to make its own a reality. Many NFT projects have launched on the premise of eventually launching a game for the actual avatars you buy to be used in, but few have made it that far.

Frontier is currently selling an assortment of items on NFT marketplace. The game will let you utilize blocks (a type of NFT you can purchase) to engage with varied enemies, with a simple set of controls laid out on the game's sparse fundamentals breakdown on the official website. How all of the items for sale will all integrate with gameplay has yet to be seen, given that a gameplay trailer for the game hasn't been released yet.

For the first time in the history of EA's NHL series, women's teams are fully playable. The women's teams come to the professional hockey game through a partnership with the International Ice Hockey Federation, and some of the playable athletes include Marie-Philip Poulin and Natalie Spooner of Team Canada, as well as Hilary Knight and Kendall Coyne-Schofield of Team USA.

Poulin said in a statement, "Representation matters, and I'm thrilled that every young girl who picks up a controller to play NHL 22 can feel like hockey is a sport for her, too." She added: "It has been such a privilege to lace up my digital skates for the very first time in NHL 22, and to get to do so while playing for my country makes it all the more surreal."

Sixteen international men's teams and 10 international women's teams are now in NHL 22 as part of the IIHF content. All players are available across Play Now, Online Vs. Threes Now, and Shootout.

EA Sports GM Sean Ramjagsingh said, "The introduction of this latest IIHF content to NHL 22 continues the franchise's evolution to reflect the growing diversity of its fanbase."

This is just the latest new content for NHL 22, following the IIHF World Junior Championship that was added in December.
