Might and Magic: Fates The Forge opens: Veteran mints and fee table

Ubisoft opened The Forge for Might and Magic: Fates on August 26, 2026. On mightandmagicfates.com⁠ (opens in new tab), you can mint Veteran in-game cards into Immutable digital collectibles, then trade, gift, sell, or burn them. Minted copies stay cosmetic only (icon shape and gem). They do not change ranked power. Before you sacrifice a stack, check the published fee row and the 3-win Veteran gate.

Background

Fates is Ubisoft’s free-to-play hero TCG on Immutable zkEVM. Mobile launched globally on February 4, 2026 (Immutable partnership post⁠ (opens in new tab)); Steam Early Access followed on February 16 (Steam store⁠ (opens in new tab)). Ranked and casual play do not require a wallet. Optional ownership sits on Fates Cards and the Founder Key line.

Until Forge, many on-chain listings still traced to early Key entitlements. Community coverage treated Forge as the delayed Q2 sacrifice path that would turn more duplicate cards into NFTs (Celestial Heavens⁠ (opens in new tab)). Ubisoft’s Helpshift FAQ already said NFT and non-NFT cards share the same function, with aesthetics and trade as the split, pointing trade at TokenTrove’s Fates Cards collection⁠ (opens in new tab) (Helpshift NFT FAQ⁠ (opens in new tab)).

Prior Web3Raider coverage: the Broken Oaths update for live TCG patch cadence, and Champions Tactics sunset into Fates for the publisher funnel. Neither piece documented Forge mint costs or Veterancy.

What happened

Discord rules drop and go-live

On August 25, 2026, Ubisoft staff account charliiie posted in the official Might & Magic: Fates Discord⁠ (opens in new tab) that The Forge was coming the next day and published the full Forge and Veteran rules (costs, sacrifice rules, cosmetic-only framing).

On August 26, 2026, the same staff account posted that The Forge is now open, linked mightandmagicfates.com⁠ (opens in new tab), and told anyone missing the Forge tab to clear cache and refresh. Treat that go-live Discord note plus the live website tab as confirmation.

What The Forge does

Per the August 25 Discord rules post:

• Players transform in-game cards into digital collectibles by minting.
• Minting consumes cards of the same quality and rarity.
• Minted assets can be traded, sold, gifted, or burnt.
• Visual distinction only: icon shape and gem. No gameplay advantage.

That matches the Helpshift line that NFT and non-NFT cards play the same way, with trade pointed at TokenTrove.

Minting process

Discord’s step list:

1. Open the Forge tab on the Might & Magic: Fates website.
2. Select a card that has the required Veterancy level.
3. Preview the minted collectible.
4. Choose sacrifice cards of the same rarity that are not already digital collectibles.
5. Receive the minted collectible in your Immutable Passport wallet.

Minting costs

Prices differ by rarity and finish. Discord states a Key Holders discount will apply, without publishing the percentage, and reserves the right to change prices later. Do not assume the webshop’s separate 20% Diamond pack Key discount (Helpshift Webshop FAQ⁠ (opens in new tab)) is the Forge mint rate until Ubisoft says so.

Veteran Rule (current): every card needs a minimum number of PvP wins before it can mint. Discord sets that floor at 3 won games for now.

Veteran system

Discord’s design notes:

• Cards gain 1 Veteran point per win.
• At 3 points the card is fully Veteran and mint-eligible (threshold can change).
• Cards in the same stack share Veterancy. A new duplicate inherits the stack’s level.
• Playing any copy in the stack raises Veterancy for all copies.
• Minting one max-Veterancy card into a collectible leaves the rest of the stack at the same Veteran level.
• If you sacrifice, disenchant, or mint every copy of a stack, the next pull of that card starts at level 0.

Example from the post: five fully Veteran Angels of Salvation sacrificed to empty leave the next Angel of Salvation at Veteran 0.

Who it affects

Players

You can keep climbing ranked without minting. If you plan to mint, bank three PvP wins on the stack you care about before opening the Forge tab. Count sacrifice cost in copies of the same rarity and finish, then the dollar fee. Limited finishes use Standard sacrifices plus a flat $9.99 fee in the published table. Emptying a stack resets Veterancy for future pulls, so do not burn your last copies if you still want that line Veteran-ready.

Collectors

Forge is the supply path beyond early Key mints. Check Fates Cards contract details and TokenTrove listings after you mint to Passport. Cosmetic-only means secondary price is not a ranked power bid. Founder Key holders should verify the Forge Key discount in the live UI rather than reusing the webshop Diamonds 20% figure. Gas for Immutable zkEVM marketplace moves uses IMX when fees are not abstracted by Passport.

What to watch next

• Key Holders discount % on the live Forge UI (not published in Discord)
• Cache clear / refresh if the Forge tab does not appear on mightandmagicfates.com⁠ (opens in new tab)
• Whether Ubisoft mirrors the fee table on X⁠ (opens in new tab) or Helpshift
• New TokenTrove depth after player mints land in Passport
• Any change to the 3-win Veteran threshold
• Region eligibility notices if the Forge UI gates wallets by territory

Bottom line: Open the Forge tab on mightandmagicfates.com⁠ (opens in new tab), confirm the stack is at 3 PvP wins, count same-rarity sacrifices against the published fee row, and check the live Key discount rather than assuming the webshop Diamonds rate.
