Ubisoft has announced that holders of its recently launched non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will gain early access to the game “Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.” starting tomorrow, December 18.
The announcement follows Ubisoft’s earlier release of the “Niji Warrior” ID card collection, a set of 10,000 free NFTs on the Arbitrum blockchain. These NFTs, which were made available for minting nearly a week ago, are now fully claimed.
They feature evolving properties based on player performance and engagement in the game. Additionally, they come with voting powers, giving holders a say in certain game features and its future direction.
The game, “Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.”, is inspired by Netflix’s “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.” It is described as a competitive, top-down multiplayer shooter set in a dystopian world called “Eden.”
Ubisoft first revealed the game in August as part of its continued expansion into Web3 gaming.
Two months ago, Ubisoft launched “Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles,” an NFT-based strategy game where players battle using collectible digital warriors. Some of these NFT characters were reported to trade for as much as $63,000.
Ubisoft has also been building partnerships to strengthen its Web3 efforts. It has teamed up with Animoca Brands to support initiatives for Mocaverse and integrate Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. Earlier this year, the company partnered with Double jump.tokyo to further incorporate blockchain technology into its gaming projects.
