Arbitrum, Sequence, and Ubisoft's Player-Guided Experience, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., Set to Launch on December 18

The Arbitrum Foundation, Ubisoft, and Sequence have teamed up with Magic Eden for the launch of its Niji Warriors NFT collection, beginning today

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Arbitrum Foundation and Ubisoft today announced that the highly-anticipated launch of Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., the Web3 top-down shooter, will be scheduled for December 18, 2024. In preparation for the game's release, the two teams have partnered with Magic Eden for the launch of the game's Niji Warrior NFT collection, going live as a free mint today. The dynamic NFTs grant exclusive gaming perks, including early access, and empower players to influence the game's development, marking a significant step in community-driven innovation.

Hosted on Magic Eden, today's free mint opens the door to a blockchain-powered governance model where players shape the future of Captain Laserhawk. With the integration of Sequence's wallet solution, the mint ensures a smooth and accessible onboarding experience, making it easier for both Web3 natives and newcomers to participate in shaping Ubisoft's Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.

With Niji Warrior IDs, NFT holders will access active governance capabilities, exclusive perks, and dynamic growth opportunities. Each holder will participate in critical decisions that shape the Captain Laserhawk experience, including game mechanics, map designs, and storyline developments. Niji Warriors will also unlock unique rewards, VIP community channels, and opportunities to engage directly with Ubisoft's developers. The most active players are in these decisions, the more the NFT evolves, enhancing influence and utility within the ecosystem.

Didier Genevois, Technical Director and Executive Producer at Ubisoft, highlighted the vision: "This project represents a new frontier in collaborative game development, where players become co-creators. With Niji Warrior IDs, we're building a truly participatory gaming community."

Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. is a competitive top-down multiplayer shooter set in the dystopian world of Eden, inspired by the Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix series, streaming on Netflix. Immediately upon launch, the title will play a genre-defining role in its approach to community involvement, bringing forward the next generation of gaming experience for players around the world.

Nina Rong, Head of Partnerships at Arbitrum Foundation, added: "Today's mint, and next week's launch, will be a cornerstone moment as we look towards the future of game development and player experience. Forever, players have followed the storylines, character arcs, and game designs that were given to them. Now, that changes. We're excited to see the results of putting the power in the hands of the gaming community."

"We're excited to partner with Ubisoft, an iconic AAA game publisher, and Arbitrum, a leading blockchain ecosystem, to deliver fun and immersive experiences to players through Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. With Sequence's gamer-friendly web3 platform, we're not only simplifying the player journey but also bridging the gap between web2 and web3 gaming. This collaboration represents a major step forward in fostering growth, accessibility, and creativity, paving the way for the metaverse," added Peter Kieltyka, Co-founder and CEO of Sequence
