Ubisoft Debuts Stealth NFT Game: Details Revealed

Ubisoft quietly unveils 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., requires players to purchase an NFT to participate. Let's delve into the details.

Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. Launches Under the Radar

As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft launched Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down multiplayer arcade shooter with a crypto-based access system. This game expands on the universe introduced in the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, incorporating familiar Ubisoft IPs like Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.

Limited to 10,000 players, access is granted through a Citizen ID Card NFT, purchased for $25.63. This card tracks player achievements and rankings, evolving based on in-game performance. Players can also resell their Citizen ID Cards, potentially increasing their value based on in-game success. The full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access for those who secure an ID.

A Netflix Series Rooted in Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon DLC

The Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, serves as the inspiration for the game. It's an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion, set in a 1992 alternate reality where the US has become Eden, a megacorporation-controlled technocracy. The series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, as he navigates betrayal and missions for Eden.

While Ubisoft hasn't detailed the game's plot, it shares the same universe, casting players as citizens of Eden. Player actions, like mission completion and community engagement, will influence the game's narrative and leaderboard rankings.
