Ubisoft Launches New NFT Game Quietly

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. According to Eden Online, the game 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 NFT for $25.63 from Ubisoft's claim page. This card tracks your in-game progress, achievements, and seasonal rankings, evolving based on your performance. Players can also resell or renounce their citizenship, potentially impacting the card's value. A full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secure a Citizen ID Card early. Ubisoft's Magic Eden page provides further details.

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, faces betrayal, and ultimately becomes a member of The Ghosts.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's narrative, it shares this universe. Players become citizens under Eden's rule, influencing the story through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement.
