Ubisoft quietly launched Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a new NFT game requiring players to purchase an NFT card for access. Let's dive into the details.
Another NFT Game from Ubisoft: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.
As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. is a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter with a unique twist: cryptocurrency is required to play. This game, according to Eden Online's website, expands the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series. Expect appearances from familiar Ubisoft IPs like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.
This competitive multiplayer experience is limited to 10,000 players. Access requires purchasing a Citizen ID Card, an NFT that tracks your in-game achievements and rankings, evolving based on your performance.
To obtain a card, you'll need a crypto wallet and purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's claim page for $25.63. Citizens can even renounce their citizenship and sell their IDs, potentially increasing their value depending on in-game achievements. A full launch is planned for Q1 2025, according to Ubisoft's Magic Eden page, 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, is an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3’s Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992 where the US is Eden, a megacorporation-controlled technocracy, the series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects, engages in heists with his boyfriend (who later betrays him), and is eventually forced to work for The Ghosts to counter his former partner's plans.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's storyline, it shares this universe, casting players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions, including mission completion and community involvement, influence the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
