Ubisoft's Stealth NFT Game Launch: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.
Ubisoft has discreetly released a new NFT game, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., requiring players to purchase an NFT to participate. This article delves into the details of this intriguing new release.
Ubisoft's Latest NFT Venture
Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. Unveiled
As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft quietly launched Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter. Gameplay necessitates cryptocurrency usage.
According to Eden Online, the game expands the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series. The game and show incorporate popular Ubisoft franchises, including Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.
Limited to 10,000 players, access is granted through the purchase of a Citizen ID Card NFT. This card tracks player statistics, achievements, and evolves based on in-game performance.
Acquiring Citizenship
To obtain a Citizen ID Card, players need a crypto wallet and must purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft's designated claim page for $25.63. Citizens can relinquish their citizenship and resell their IDs, with potential value increases tied to in-game achievements.
Ubisoft's Magic Eden page indicates a full launch in Q1 2025, but early access is available to those who secured IDs early.
A Netflix Series Inspired by Far Cry 3's DLC
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series, is an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992, the series depicts a technocratic United States controlled by a megacorporation, Eden.
The show follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier who defects and later becomes a member of The Ghosts, tasked with thwarting his former partner's plans.
While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's storyline, it's set within this same universe, where players are Eden citizens. Player actions, such as mission completion and community engagement, influence the game's narrative.
