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

Ubisoft's Latest NFT Offering

Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, was released discreetly on December 20th, as reported by Eurogamer. This game utilizes cryptocurrency for gameplay.

According to Eden Online, the game expands the universe of the Netflix series, "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix," incorporating familiar Ubisoft franchises like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.

Limited to 10,000 players, access requires purchasing a Citizen ID Card NFT. This card tracks player achievements and rankings, evolving based on in-game performance. The card, a Niji Warrior ID, costs $25.63 and is purchased through Ubisoft's claim page using a crypto wallet. Citizens can also relinquish their citizenship and sell their IDs on the secondary market.

Ubisoft's Magic Eden page indicates a full launch in Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured an ID early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series, is an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC. Set in an alternate 1992, the story follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects from the megacorporation-controlled Eden. The series details his betrayal, capture, and subsequent role in undermining his former accomplice's plans.

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