Arbitrum and Sequence team up with Ubisoft to Debut ‘Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E.’
Iconic characters from the industry’s most popular IPs headline the ambitious community-driven project built on Arbitrum
PARIS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Arbitrum Foundation and Sequence, in collaboration with Ubisoft Labs, today unveiled a new gaming adventure in Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. Expanding the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix series – produced by Ubisoft for Netflix – the new title will feature iconic characters from famous franchises including Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good and Evil, among others. The first activation and core of the Captain Laserhawk G.A.M.E. will be built on Arbitrum, leveraging the blockchain’s ability to handle the scale and speed required to foster a growing and active community. Sequence will provide critical blockchain tooling to the partnership.
The G.A.M.E. is a transmedia gaming adventure where the community drives the narrative through innovative web3 governance. Players step into the role of a citizen in the dystopian world of Eden – the totalitarian successor to the US. By overcoming challenges across various channels inside and outside Ubisoft’s ecosystem, players can raise their citizen score and increase their power to shape the narrative. As the story unfolds, the entire community will have the opportunity to influence the plot and participate in key decision-making moments by unlocking, creating, and sharing content. This experience stands out for its unprecedented level of player influence over the game’s development, empowering the community to help craft its evolution. Over time, as players progress, their characters can transform from faceless individuals into influential leaders within Eden.
“With Arbitrum’s supercharged blockchain infrastructure and Sequence’s full web3 stack as the foundation, Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. is poised to be a groundbreaking player-driven project. Here, players can have fun and actively contribute to the lore and evolution of the game. Blockchain features on Arbitrum empower us to give the community a real voice in shaping the story, gameplay, and even side experiences. This fosters transparency and shared creation, paving the way for a truly collaborative future for Captain Laserhawk.”- Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft Labs.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Ubisoft, one of the world’s most renowned game publishers, and Arbitrum, a leading and robust blockchain ecosystem, to pioneer a new generation of games,” added Peter Kieltyka, CEO of Sequence. “Sequence’s easy-to-integrate web3 platform ensures seamless player journeys and unlocks endless creative gameplay and world-building opportunities for Captain Laserhawk and its players.”
“It’s exciting to see leading gaming studios, like Ubisoft, look to Arbitrum to support their ambitious community-driven project — a notable step towards increased adoption and accessibility in the industry. Arbitrum’s gaming ecosystem continues to flourish, and an increased focus from legacy studios will only expedite that growth,” said Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development at Arbitrum Foundation.
Ubisoft is committed to adhering to community feedback and will closely monitor the needs of players as they venture into the new Captain Laserhawk experience.
