Ubisoft Unveils New NFT Game

Ubisoft quietly launches a new NFT game: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.

Ubisoft's latest foray into the NFT gaming space, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E, has arrived. This top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, as reported by Eurogamer, requires players to purchase an NFT to participate.

Expanding the universe of the Netflix series "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix," the game incorporates familiar Ubisoft IPs like Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed. Limited to 10,000 players, access is granted through the purchase of a Citizen ID Card NFT. This card tracks player achievements and rankings, evolving based on in-game performance. Players can buy these Niji Warrior ID cards for approximately $25.63 via Ubisoft's claim page, requiring a crypto wallet. Citizenship can be renounced, allowing ID resale, potentially increasing value based on in-game success.

According to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page, a full launch is planned for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured IDs early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC

The Netflix series, "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix," serves as an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992 where the US is Eden, a megacorporation-controlled technocracy, the show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, after his defection and subsequent capture, forcing him to work against his former betrayer.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's plot, it shares this universe, casting players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions—mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community involvement—influence the game's narrative through a citizen score system.
