Ubisoft Discreetly Releases A New NFT Game

Ubisoft Quietly 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 been released under the radar. This top-down multiplayer arcade shooter, as reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, requires players to purchase an 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 for $25.63 via Ubisoft's claim page on Magic Eden. This card tracks player achievements and evolves based on in-game performance. Citizens can also choose to relinquish their citizenship and resell their IDs.

The full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured their IDs early. The game's storyline, while not fully detailed, is set within the same alternate 1992 Eden universe as the Netflix show, where players act as citizens under Eden's rule and can influence the narrative through gameplay, leaderboard rankings, and community participation.

The Netflix series itself serves as an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC, depicting the story of Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects from Eden Tech Military and engages in heists before being recaptured and forced to work against his former partner.
