Ubisoft Unveils Enigma Puzzle Adventure Game

Ubisoft Quietly Launches 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 discreetly released. This top-down, multiplayer arcade shooter requires players to purchase an NFT to participate. Let's delve into the details.

A Stealth NFT Release

As reported by Eurogamer on December 20th, Ubisoft launched Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. under the radar. The game utilizes cryptocurrency for gameplay and expands upon the universe established in the Netflix series, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. Expect appearances from familiar Ubisoft franchises, including Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed.

Limited Access and NFT Citizen IDs

The game features classic online competitive multiplayer, but access is limited to 10,000 players. Each player must acquire a unique Citizen ID Card, acting as a digital record of in-game achievements and rankings. These cards dynamically evolve based on player performance.

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. Players also have the option to relinquish their citizenship and sell their IDs on the secondary market, potentially increasing their value based on in-game accomplishments. A full launch is slated for Q1 2025, with early access granted to those who secured IDs early.

A Far Cry Blood Dragon Legacy

Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the Netflix series that inspired the game, is an animated spin-off of Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon expansion. Set in an alternate 1992 where the US is a megacorporation-controlled technocracy called Eden, the series follows Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier, after his defection and subsequent capture.

While Ubisoft hasn't fully detailed the game's narrative, it shares the same universe, placing players as citizens under Eden's rule. Player actions, including mission completion and community involvement, directly influence the game's storyline and leaderboard rankings.
