Ubisoft has partnered with Magic Eden, a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, to release a new NFT collection for its game “Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.,” developed in collaboration with Arbitrum and Sequence.
The NFT collection will feature 10,000 limited-edition items called “Niji Warrior ID Cards.” These NFTs will serve as key access to the game and give holders the ability to influence future developments.
The collection also offers rewards that players can unlock, and the value of the NFTs may increase over time depending on the user’s in-game activity and skill.
The minting process for these NFTs will take place in the coming weeks, though specific details still need to be revealed.
“Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.” is a competitive top-down multiplayer shooter set in a dystopian world called “Eden.” The game draws inspiration from the Netflix series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.”
Ubisoft announced the game’s launch in August, continuing its ongoing push into the Web3 space.
Ubisoft’s exploration into NFTs and blockchain gaming began in early 2022 with the launch of Ubisoft Quartz, a platform where players could obtain Digits — the first playable NFTs in an AAA game. However, Ubisoft Quartz was eventually shut down, but the company remained committed to Web3 ventures through other releases and collaborations.
In November, Ubisoft launched free Ethereum-based PFP NFTs for its game Champions Tactics, which sold out in under 10 minutes. That same month, Ubisoft also partnered with Animoca Brands to support Web3 initiatives for Mocaverse, integrating its upcoming game Champions Tactics Grimoria Chronicles.
Earlier this year, Ubisoft also teamed up with Double jump.tokyo to continue incorporating Web3 technology into its gaming projects.
