Ubisoft has announced a partnership with the Arbitrum Foundation and Sequence to develop Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E., a new web3 gaming project.
This initiative expands the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, originally produced for Netflix, and includes characters from Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good and Evil.
The project will leverage Arbitrum’s blockchain technology to handle the scale and speed required for an interactive community whilst Sequence will provide necessary blockchain tools to support the project.

Set in the dystopian world of Eden, Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. allows players to assume the roles of citizens in a totalitarian state.
Players will navigate this world, influencing the narrative through web3 governance. By participating in various challenges, players can increase their citizen scores, gaining more influence over the story. The game aims to involve the community in significant decision-making moments, shaping the plot and overall experience.
“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,” said Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft Labs. “This fosters transparency and shared creation, paving the way for a truly collaborative future for Captain Laserhawk.”
Ubisoft’s Commitment and Future Development
Despite initial setbacks with blockchain gaming, such as the controversial introduction of NFTs in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Ubisoft remains committed to exploring the potential of web3.
“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,” said Peter Kieltyka, CEO of Sequence.
“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,” added Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development at Arbitrum Foundation.
Ubisoft plans to integrate community feedback into Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E., ensuring player input shapes the game’s development.
