Ubisoft 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 quietly launched. This top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, as reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, requires players to purchase a unique NFT to participate.
Expanding the universe of the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the game incorporates elements from popular Ubisoft 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, priced at $25.63 via Ubisoft's claim page on Magic Eden. This card tracks in-game achievements and rankings, evolving based on player performance. Owners can also resell or relinquish their citizenship.
The full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secure an ID card.
A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series, 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 series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, after his defection and subsequent capture.
While specific plot details for the game remain undisclosed, it shares the same universe. Players assume the role of Eden citizens, influencing the narrative through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
