Ubisoft Discreetly Releases A New NFT Game

Ubisoft quietly launches a new NFT game: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. This top-down multiplayer shooter requires players to purchase an NFT to participate. Let's delve into the details!

Ubisoft's Latest NFT Venture

As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. has been released. This competitive online arcade shooter uses cryptocurrency for gameplay access.

Based on Eden Online's website, 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. The game is limited to 10,000 players.

Citizen ID Cards: The Key to Entry

To play, players must acquire a unique Citizen ID Card (NFT) from Ubisoft's claim page on Magic Eden for $25.63. This card tracks in-game achievements and rankings, evolving based on player performance. Players can also resell their IDs, potentially increasing their value.

A Full Launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secured an ID early.

A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series that inspired the game, is a spin-off of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Set in an alternate 1992, it follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, as he navigates betrayal and fights against a powerful megacorporation.

The game shares this universe, placing players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions, including mission completion and community involvement, influence the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
