Ubisoft Unveils New NFT Gaming Experience

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

Ubisoft's latest venture into the NFT gaming space, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., has arrived. As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, this top-down multiplayer arcade shooter 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 requires purchasing a Citizen ID Card NFT via Ubisoft's claim page on Magic Eden for $25.63. These cards track player achievements and evolve based on in-game performance. Owners can also resell their cards.

The full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secure their ID cards early.

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

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series which inspired the game, is an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC. Set in an alternate 1992 where the US is a megacorporation-controlled technocracy called Eden, the show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, after his defection and subsequent capture.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's plot, it shares the same universe, casting players as citizens of Eden. Player actions, including mission completion and community engagement, directly impact the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
