Releases Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E
Ubisoft has quietly rolled out Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E, as reported by Eurogamer on December 20. This top-down multiplayer arcade shooter requires players to use cryptocurrency to participate.
According to Eden Online’s website, the game "expands the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix," initially launched as a series on Netflix. Both the game and the show incorporate popular Ubisoft IPs such as Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed.
In addition to its classic online competitive multiplayer format, access to the game is limited to just 10,000 players. Each player must obtain a Citizen ID Card, which tracks everything "from your seasonal ranking placements to your unique achievements and accolades earned." These cards evolve based on players’ in-game performance.
To acquire a card, players need a crypto wallet and must purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card from Ubisoft’s special claim page for $25.63. ID owners can renounce their citizenship and sell their IDs to others, potentially increasing in value depending on their in-game achievements.
According to Ubisoft's page on Magic Eden, an online marketplace for NFTs and other digital collectibles, the game is slated for a full launch in Q1 2025. Early ID holders will enjoy early access to the game.
A Netflix Series Inspired By Far Cry 3’s DLC
The Netflix series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is an animated spinoff from Far Cry 3’s standalone expansion, the Blood Dragon. Set in an alternate reality of 1992, the series depicts the United States transformed into Eden, a technocracy ruled by a single megacorporation.
The show follows the journey of Dolph Laserhawk, a supersoldier engineered by Eden Tech Military. After defecting, he teamed up with Alex Taylor, his boyfriend, who eventually betrayed him. Captured once more by Eden, Laserhawk was coerced into joining The Ghosts, tasked with thwarting Taylor’s schemes.
While Ubisoft has not revealed much about the game’s storyline, it is set in the same universe where players must role-play as citizens under Eden’s regime. Players can influence the game's narrative by boosting their citizen scores through mission completion, leaderboard updates, and community engagement.
