Hey, gamers! Do you like Rayman? Do you like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon? Do you wish they would make a new one? Rayman or Blood Dragon Game? Well, you’ve got your wish (so to speak) if you’re willing to give your wish a lot of leeway and a bit of money. The journalist Stephen Totilo Newsletter reported that Ubisoft has secretly released a new Web3 game using NFTs featuring Captain Laserhawk from Blood Dragon Spinoff of an animated series on Netflix and Rayman (who hasn’t appeared in a proper new adventure in years).
looks like a generic top-down shooter set in the bright neon future world Blood Dragon Universe. You compete in an arena-style bloodsport where you achieve victory with the most kills. Totilo describes it as “the simplest top-down shooter imaginable.”
You need a Niji Warrior NFT to play the game. Totilo reported that earlier this month, Ubisoft offered 10,000 of the special NFTs for free with some Web3 transaction fees. The Niji Warrior NFT serves as a form of identification, and if you missed the chance to snag one for free, it says you’ll have to pay at least $14.38 (0.0022 in Ethereum). ), just to get into the game.
To make things even more digital, Rayman acts as the announcer for these gladiator deathmatches of the future. Rayman appears in the game, but you can’t even play as a clever, cartoonish game hero. He is forced to be Marv Albert in this bloodthirsty cryptocurrency heist.
There is only one compelling reason to play the game: you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to get on the leaderboard. Totilo said he broke into the top 10 of the global rankings on a ranking that featured fewer than 100 players. I wouldn’t call the game a slam dunk yet.
This isn’t the first time Ubisoft has quietly released a Web3-based game to capitalize on the NFT craze that faded in popularity years ago. Ubisoft Quartz has released the tactical role-playing game in October, where players could purchase NFTs for up to $6,300.
