Ubisoft quietly launches a new NFT game: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. This article delves into the details of Ubisoft's latest foray into the NFT gaming world.
Ubisoft's Stealth NFT Release
Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, was revealed on December 20th, according to Eurogamer. The game's unique feature? Players need cryptocurrency to participate.
Based on Eden Online's website, 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 NFT tracks player achievements and rankings, evolving based on in-game performance. The card can also be resold, potentially increasing in value.
Players need a crypto wallet to purchase a Niji Warrior ID card NFT for $25.63 from Ubisoft's dedicated claim page. Early access is granted to those who secure an ID, with the full launch slated for Q1 2025 (according to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page).
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 a dystopian 1992 where the US is a megacorporation-controlled technocracy called Eden, the series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, and his tumultuous journey.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's storyline, it shares this universe, placing players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions influence the narrative through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
