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 quietly released. 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 familiar Ubisoft IPs, hinting at potential crossover elements with 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. This digital card tracks player stats, achievements, and even evolves based on in-game performance.
The ID card, priced at $25.63, is acquired via Ubisoft's claim page, requiring a crypto wallet. Players can later choose to relinquish their citizenship and resell their IDs on the secondary market, potentially increasing their value based on in-game success.
According to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page, a full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured their Citizen ID Cards early.
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 known as Eden, the show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier turned defector. His story involves betrayal, capture, and a mission to thwart his former partner's plans.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's narrative, it's confirmed to share this universe, placing players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions, mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community involvement directly influence the game's evolving storyline.
