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 world.
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 uniquely requires players to utilize cryptocurrency for participation.
Based on Eden Online's website, this title expands the universe of the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. The game and show incorporate popular Ubisoft franchises, including Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.
The game's competitive multiplayer mode is limited to 10,000 players. Access necessitates purchasing a Citizen ID Card NFT, which tracks player achievements and rankings, evolving based on in-game performance.
To acquire a card, players need a crypto wallet and purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's dedicated claim page for $25.63. Citizens can later relinquish their citizenship and resell their IDs, potentially increasing their value depending on in-game success. A full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured IDs early. Ubisoft's Magic Eden page provides further details.
A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's DLC
The Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix Netflix series is an animated adaptation of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992, the series depicts a technocratic United States ruled by a megacorporation, Eden. The story follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, and his complex relationship with his former partner, Alex Taylor.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's narrative, it's situated in the same universe, where players assume the roles of Eden citizens. Players can influence the game's story through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community involvement.
