Ubisoft's Latest NFT Venture

Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. Unveiled

As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft quietly launched Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter demanding cryptocurrency for gameplay. According to Eden Online, the game expands the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series. Expect appearances from familiar Ubisoft franchises like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.

This competitive multiplayer experience is limited to 10,000 players, each requiring a Citizen ID Card. This NFT card tracks in-game achievements and rankings, evolving based on player performance.

To acquire a card, players need a crypto wallet and must purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's designated claim page for $25.63. Citizens can relinquish their status and sell their IDs, potentially increasing their value based on in-game success. A full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured IDs early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's 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, the series depicts a technocratic United States ruled by a single megacorporation, Eden. The show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects and later becomes a member of The Ghosts.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's plot, it's set within this same universe, casting players as citizens under Eden's control. Players influence the narrative by improving their citizen scores through missions, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
