Ubisoft Launches NFT Game Captain Laserhawk

Ubisoft has launched a new top-down multiplayer shooter game called Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., based on its animated series and featuring characters like Rayman. The game requires players to purchase an NFT Niji Warrior ID card to participate, with the NFT priced at approximately $25.63. Despite its connection to the nostalgic Blood Dragon universe, the game's reception has been lukewarm, described as uninspiring with basic gameplay and a lack of innovative features. The launch was notably low-profile, possibly reflecting Ubisoft's awareness of the backlash against NFTs in gaming. Critics have pointed out that the focus on NFTs overshadows the gaming experience itself, leading to skepticism about the game's value. This release comes amid a broader decline in interest in NFTs within the gaming industry, as Ubisoft attempts to revive its reputation.
