- Ubisoft has revealed an NFT collection for its Captain Laserhawk Web3 game.
- The NFTs promise to unlock new levels of user control.
- The Captain Laserhawk game promises to be a fast-paced strategic action thriller.
While most traditional game publishers have been reluctant to integrate Web3 and Blockchain technology over monetization concerns, Ubisoft , the publisher of popular titles like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Prince of Persia, continues to be viewed as a pariah.
From being the first major publisher to bring NFTs to its games to supporting Web3 gaming hackathons , Ubisoft has remained steadfast in its belief in Web3’s potential to change its industry. The gaming studio may be embarking on its most Web3-aligned initiative yet with its planned Captain Laserhawk game. The publisher has revealed NFT plans for the title in collaboration with Magic Eden and the Arbitrum Foundation, which promises to revolutionize user control and ownership in gaming.
