The deal will also see Arbitrum be added to the Magic Eden NFT marketplace, which has previously supported projects on Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and Base.

Of the major NFT marketplaces, Magic Eden will be key in distributing and handling the NFTs for Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a project known for its cross-chain compatibility and innovative gameplay, further building its influence in Web3 gaming.

With the partnership, Magic Eden brings several years of experience in NFT ecosystems to the new agreement with Ubisoft and Arbitrum, offering players a way to manage digital assets that is both secure and user-friendly. The deal will also heat up gaming experiences and solidify the status of Magic Eden as one of the leading driving forces in the fast-changing NFT gaming sector.

The partnership also highlights the trend of late in adopting layer-2 solutions for NFT projects, all aiming for better scalability and interoperability within the Ethereum ecosystem. Such infrastructure will enable smoother and easier gaming, reaching a wider audience for both game developers and gamers.

The game is called Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., and it’s set in a dystopian world inspired by the Netflix series Captain Laserhawk. The title will also feature various iconic characters from other Ubisoft franchises.

At the time, Ubisoft described Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. as “a transmedia experience” built on Arbitrum. Holders will have Web3 governance over determining the narrative for the game, which will come alongside an imminent mint for their Niji Warrior ID NFTs.

According to Ubisoft, one of the main benefits of the NFTs is that holders will have extraordinary voting rights over major governance decisions, essentially giving the community the power to shape the future of the game.

The NFTs will also be play-to-earn, unlocking rewards for a unique opportunity to be fully involved in the active creation of new content, transforming players into co-creators of game development. This move marks one of the most major steps Ubisoft has ever taken toward including blockchain and NFTs in gaming. An initiative of this nature by Ubisoft fits into the company’s vision to offer more immersive experiences through decentralized platforms and increase player engagement.

The new Magic Eden-Ubisoft partnership follows a closed beta for the game, which was held in August, but hardly any footage has surfaced online as participants reportedly had NDAs preventing them from sharing any details about the game. From the few clips that managed to find their way onto Twitter, the game looks colorful and quick-paced, with tight choke points around which players fight it out.

However, the highly-coveted collection of 10,000 NFTs will be minted in the coming weeks, and many future minters have already secured spots for participation in the beta and completed challenges in Discord. The ID mint is the final milestone on the road map before the game launches, meaning Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. is not very far away.

The title will be the second major blockchain game from Ubisoft after its partnership with Magic Eden on Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, which is on the Oasys network but has also minted NFTs on Ethereum. Recently, Champions Tactics held a “technical beta” testing ahead of its public launch, which is expected very soon.

The publisher known for titles like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance has been developing and investing in the crypto space for years. In late 2021, they launched in-game NFTs for their Ghost Recon: Breakpoint game on the Tezos blockchain.
