Ubisoft Launches New NFT Game

Ubisoft quietly launches a 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., requires players to purchase an NFT to participate. Eurogamer broke the news on December 20th, revealing the top-down multiplayer arcade shooter's cryptocurrency-based access.

Expanding the universe of the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the game incorporates familiar Ubisoft IPs like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed. Limited to 10,000 players, access is granted through a Citizen ID Card NFT, purchased for $25.63. This card tracks player stats and evolves based on in-game performance. Players can also resell their IDs.

The full game launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured an ID. Ubisoft's Magic Eden page details the release.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series, is a spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC. Set in a 1992 alternate reality where the US is Eden, a megacorporation-controlled technocracy, the show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, after his defection and subsequent capture.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's plot, it shares the same universe. Players become Eden citizens, influencing the narrative through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
