Ubisoft Unveils New NFT Game

Ubisoft quietly launches a 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 released under the radar. As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, this top-down multiplayer arcade shooter requires players to purchase an NFT to participate.

Expanding the universe of the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the game incorporates elements from popular Ubisoft 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 card tracks player stats, achievements, and even evolves based on in-game performance.

The Citizen ID Card, priced at $25.63, is available via Ubisoft's claim page and requires a cryptocurrency wallet. Players can also resell or relinquish their citizenship, potentially impacting the card's value. A full launch is planned for Q1 2025, with early access for those who acquire IDs early.

Inspired by Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC, the Netflix series and game share a 1992 alternate reality where the United States has become Eden, a megacorporation-controlled technocracy. The story follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, his betrayal, and his subsequent mission to thwart his former partner. While specific plot details for the game remain scarce, player actions influence the narrative through mission completion, leaderboard rankings, and community engagement. Players essentially become citizens of Eden, shaping the game's storyline.
