Ubisoft Soft Unveils NFT Game
Ubisoft Quietly Launches 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 been discreetly released. This top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, as reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, requires players to purchase an NFT to participate.
Expanding the universe of the Netflix series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the game integrates familiar Ubisoft IPs, hinting at potential crossovers with franchises 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 statistics, achievements, and evolves based on in-game performance.
The Citizen ID Card, priced at $25.63, is acquired via Ubisoft's claim page using a crypto wallet. Players can later choose to relinquish their citizenship and resell their ID, potentially increasing its value depending on their in-game success. According to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page, a full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who have already secured their IDs.
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 a megacorporation-controlled technocracy called Eden, the show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier turned defector, and his complex relationship with his former partner.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's narrative, it's confirmed to exist within the same universe. Players assume the role of Eden citizens, influencing the game's storyline through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement. Their citizen scores directly impact the unfolding narrative.
