NFT Debut from Ubisoft: Stealth Release

Ubisoft's Stealth NFT Game Launch: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.

Ubisoft quietly unveiled its latest NFT-based game, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., requiring players to purchase an NFT to participate. This article delves into the details of this intriguing release.

Ubisoft's Latest NFT Venture

As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.—a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter—demands 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 is granted via a Citizen ID Card NFT, tracking player stats and achievements, which evolve based on in-game performance.

Acquiring a Citizen ID Card necessitates a crypto wallet and the purchase of an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's dedicated claim page for $25.63. Players can later relinquish their citizenship and resell their IDs, with potential value fluctuations based on in-game success. A full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured IDs early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's DLC

The Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, serves as an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992, the series depicts a technocratic United States, Eden, governed by a single megacorporation. The story follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects, engages in heists, and ultimately becomes a member of The Ghosts to counter his former partner's schemes.

While Ubisoft remains tight-lipped on the game's storyline, it shares the same universe, casting players as citizens under Eden's control. Player actions, including mission completion and community engagement, influence the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
