Unleash the Power of Rayman, Blood Dragon, and NFTs in Ubisoft’s Brand New Masterpiece

The Baffling NFT Scam of Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.

Remember those hilariously stupid and obvious scams from 2021, where people sold the "rights" to JPEGs? Yeah, well, Ubisoft has taken it to the next level with their new game, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., a top-down shooter featuring commentary from Rayman and perks related to Assassin’s Creed. But here’s the catch: to play, you need an NFT.

A Journey into the Abyss of Crypto

To get started, you’ll need to create a wallet and purchase an Niji Warrior card, which can be bought on the game’s website. But be warned: the cheapest card available is 0.0037 ETH, equivalent to $12.06, and the most expensive is a whopping 50 ETH, or $162,975.50. And if you thought that was steep, the minimum amount you can add to a wallet is $21!

Ubisoft’s Attempt to Hide the Truth

Ubisoft is doing its best to keep the game’s gameplay a secret, with no trailers available on their YouTube channel and a hardwired version on their site that doesn’t show any in-game footage. They’ve also forgotten to mention the game on their social media accounts, instead using an Eden Online sockpuppet account to promote it.

A Glimpse of the Game

Luckily, I was able to find a tiny glimpse of the game on the Eden Online account, but it’s hard to make out what it looks like. It appears to be a crappy F2P mobile game, but we can’t judge until we’ve played it.

A Scam in the Making?

That’s Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., folks. Perhaps it’s the breakthrough experience the world of NFTs and crypto has been crying out for, or maybe it’s just another scam waiting to happen. We’ve contacted Ubisoft to find out why the site says "Reveal Your ID Card Now" with no mention of payment, and to see if we can get access to the game without having to willingly walk into a crypto-shaped rake.
