Gaming giant Ubisoft is set to launch a 10,000 piece NFT collection on Ethereum scaling network Arbitrum in the coming weeks via the Magic Edenmarketplace. These NFTs will allow holders to play the upcoming top-down shooter Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. early.
Set in a fascist dystopian world inspired by the Netflix series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix”—which itself is inspired by Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon game—the competitive multiplayer game promises to include iconic characters from Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good & Evil.
Minted on Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Arbitrum, the new Niji Warrior ID NFTs will grant early access to the top-down shooter, enable participation in the game’s governance model, and track player progress. As a player’s score increases, the NFT evolves, unlocking new perks and increasing their governance influence. Holders will also be able to earn rewards and unlock user-generated content—though how exactly this will work has yet to be detailed.
“Through the integration of Web3, we’re empowering our community to not only play but shape the future of the game,” Didier Genevois, Web3 Executive Producer at Ubisoft, said in a release. “It’s about creating a collaborative ecosystem where players’ decisions and creations directly impact the game’s evolution, making the experience truly their own.”
