Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. launches December 18
Ubisoft is set to release Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a competitive top-down multiplayer shooter, on December 18. Based on the Netflix series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, the game immerses players in the dystopian world of Eden. Combining fast-paced gameplay with blockchain integration, the title marks a new milestone for Ubisoft and the web3 gaming space.
Ahead of the launch, Ubisoft rolled out the Niji Warrior NFT collection in collaboration with Magic Eden. The free mint of 10,000 AI-generated NFTs provides holders exclusive perks, such as in-game assets, governance rights, and rewards from Ubisoft franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell. Built on the Arbitrum blockchain, these NFTs evolve based on player performance and engagement, making them dynamic and unique to each user.
NFT holders will also play a significant role in shaping the game. Players can vote on critical elements like map designs, characters, and storylines through blockchain powered governance. Ubisoft aims to create a community-driven ecosystem where players influence the game’s development.
