Another NFT Game from Ubisoft
Releases Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E
Ubisoft has discreetly released Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E, a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, as reported by Eurogamer on December 20. To play, participants must engage with cryptocurrency, marking a significant integration of blockchain technology into gaming.
According to Eden Online’s website, this game extends the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, a series that debuted on Netflix. Both the game and the series incorporate well-known Ubisoft IPs such as Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed, enriching the gaming experience with familiar elements.
The game, set in a classic online competitive multiplayer environment, is exclusive to 10,000 players. Access is granted through the acquisition of a Citizen ID Card, which tracks a player's seasonal rankings, unique achievements, and accolades. These cards dynamically evolve based on in-game performance, adding a layer of personalization and progression.
To secure a card, players need a crypto wallet and must purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft’s dedicated claim page for $25.63. Owners of these IDs can also choose to renounce their citizenship and sell their IDs, potentially increasing in value based on their in-game achievements.
Ubisoft's page on Magic Eden, a marketplace for NFTs and digital collectibles, indicates that the game's full launch is scheduled for Q1 2025. Early adopters who obtain IDs will enjoy early access to the game.
A Netflix Series Inspired By Far Cry 3’s DLC
The Netflix series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is an animated spinoff inspired by the standalone expansion of Far Cry 3, known as Blood Dragon. Set in an alternate 1992, the series portrays a dystopian United States transformed into Eden, a technocracy ruled by a single megacorporation.
The narrative follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier engineered by Eden Tech Military. After defecting, he teams up with his boyfriend Alex Taylor for heists, only to be betrayed and recaptured by Eden. Forced to join The Ghosts, Laserhawk is tasked with thwarting Taylor’s schemes.
While Ubisoft has kept the game's storyline under wraps, it is set within the same universe, where players assume the role of citizens under Eden's regime. Players can impact the game's narrative by boosting their citizen scores through mission completions, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
