Ubisoft has collaborated with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) to integrate blockchain-based identities into the Captain Laserhawk Universe.

This collaboration provides players with personalized, blockchain-based identities within the game.

According to the latest announcement from Ethereum Name Service, players will receive personalized Niji Warrior ID Cards, each linked to an ENS subname under “edenonline.eth.” 

These subnames connect in-game characters with players’ Ethereum addresses, creating a seamless digital identity within the game.

The integration offers players consistent, recognizable identities across the Captain Laserhawk Universe. According to the studio, this will enhance engagement and immersion.

“Integrating ENS in our projects has always been obvious and we’re proud to propose an original approach to decentralized identity,” said Louis Garoche, Ubisoft Blockchain Technical Lead.

ENS technology ensures secure association of in-game assets with Ethereum addresses, maintaining authenticity and ownership for players.

Ubisoft plans to release “Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.,” a Web3 top-down shooter, on December 18, 2024. Developed in collaboration with the Arbitrum Foundation, the game will run on the Ethereum layer-2 network, Arbitrum. 

The game draws inspiration from the Netflix series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix,” which premiered on October 19, 2023. Created by Adi Shankar, the series envisions an alternate 1992 where a technocratic regime governs with propaganda and corruption.

Ubisoft joins other gaming giants in advancing blockchain integration. In the past year, Ubisoft and SEGA invested in Web3 games such as Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles and Battle of Three Kingdoms.

September marked a significant step forward when Google Cloud partnered with Solana Labs to launch GameShift. This initiative streamlines Web3 adoption for developers, offering wallets, tokenized assets, and on-chain marketplaces via Google Cloud Marketplace.

Meanwhile, Mythical Games and FIFA unveiled plans for FIFA Rivals, a mobile NFT-based football game set to launch on iOS and Android in the summer of 2025. The game will allow players to manage teams and compete in real-time matches, bringing blockchain gaming to the sports genre.

These developments underline the growing presence of blockchain in the gaming industry, driven by collaborations between technology leaders and game developers.
