Rayman NFT Game: Ubisoft’s New Web3 Shooter

Rayman Joins Ubisoft’s NFT Shooter

Ubisoft has launched a new game featuring Rayman and NFTs: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. This PC top-down multiplayer shooter, described as “basic”, uses cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

NFT Requirement

To play, players need an NFT Niji Warrior ID card, purchased via a crypto wallet. The ID is customized with a cartoon headshot and details, and “evolves” based on in-game achievements.

Ubisoft’s Continued NFT Push

This release follows Ubisoft’s previous attempts at integrating NFTs into gaming, including the Quartz platform and Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles. Despite criticism, Ubisoft continues to develop and release NFT-based games.

Game Details

• Early Access: The game is currently in early access, with a limited number of player slots.
• Rayman’s Role: Rayman serves as the announcer for deathmatches.
• Community Involvement: Ubisoft describes the game as a “transmedia gaming adventure” where community input shapes updates.

Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. represents Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to blockchain technology in gaming, even amidst past criticism of their NFT initiatives.
