Ubisoft first began its foray into blockchain and NFT-infused games with Rainbow Six a few years ago. There was swift, loud backlash against this idea and since then, Ubisoft has instead opted to not publicise any of its NFT projects. Recently, the publisher launched another one, based on Captain Laserhawk, which became a popular Netflix show in 2023.
Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. features characters that appeared in the Netflix animated series, as well as a number of new characters. Players buy an ID Card, an NFT, which grants them use of the character displayed on the ID card in-game. There are roughly 10,000 ID Cards on sale.
As you can see by the trailer, Rayman does feature in this game. What was once one of the most recognisable mascot characters in gaming has now been reduced to a side character in a game all about selling NFTs.
Not many…
