Ubisoft Stealthily Drops Innovative NFT Game

Ubisoft quietly launches a new NFT game: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. This article delves into the details of Ubisoft's latest venture into the NFT gaming space.

Ubisoft's Stealth NFT Release

Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, was discreetly released on December 20th, as reported by Eurogamer. The game's unique access model requires players to utilize cryptocurrency.

Based on Eden Online's website, the game expands the universe of the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, incorporating elements from popular Ubisoft franchises like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.

The game 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. Acquiring a card necessitates a crypto wallet and purchasing an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's claim page for $25.63. Citizens can also relinquish their citizenship and sell their IDs on the secondary market.

According to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page, the full game launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access granted to those who secured IDs early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3

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 a megacorporation-controlled technocracy called Eden, the series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects and later works against his former associate, Alex Taylor.

While Ubisoft hasn't revealed the game's storyline, it shares this universe, placing players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions, including mission completion and community involvement, influence the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
