Ubisoft Launches NFT-Driven Game Based on Blood Dragon Universe

The new title, 'Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.,' requires players to purchase NFTs to access gameplay, sparking concerns over accessibility and transparency.

Ubisoft has released 'Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.,' a top-down shooter tied to the Blood Dragon universe and the Netflix series 'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.'
The game mandates players to own a 'Niji Warrior' NFT, which evolves based on in-game performance and unlocks exclusive perks tied to Ubisoft franchises.
Critics have highlighted a lack of transparency, with unclear messaging on Ubisoft's platforms about the NFT purchase requirement and associated costs.
The game has been quietly launched, with minimal promotion on Ubisoft's official channels and limited gameplay footage available to the public.
This marks Ubisoft's continued push into blockchain gaming, despite past backlash over its NFT initiatives and the broader decline in NFT popularity.
