Hey gamers! Do you like Rayman? Do you like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon? Do you wish they would make a new Rayman or Blood Dragon game? Well, if you give yourself enough leeway and a little money to make your wish come true, your wish will come true (in a sense) It will come true. Journalist Stephen Totillo’s Game Files newsletter reveals Ubisoft’s new NFT featuring Captain Razorhawk and Rayman (who haven’t appeared in a proper new adventure in years) from Netflix’s Blood Dragon animated series spinoff We reported that we secretly released a Web3 game.
Captain Razorhawk: This game looks like a typical top-down shooter set in the bright neon future world of the Blood Dragon universe. Compete in arena-style blood sports and win by scoring the most kills. Totilo describes the game as “the most basic top-down shooter imaginable.”
Rainbow Warrior NFT is required to play the game. Totilo reported that Ubisoft gave away 10,000 special NFTs for free with some Web3 transaction fees earlier this month. The Niji Warrior NFT acts as a kind of ID card, and if you miss the chance to get it for free, you’ll have to fork out a minimum of $14.38 (0.0022 in Ethereum, according to Coinbase) just to join the game. .
And to add digital insult to injury, Rayman serves as the announcer for a futuristic gladiator deathmatch. Rayman appears in the game, but you can’t even play as the smart, cartoonish game hero. He is forced to become the Marv Albert of this bloodthirsty crypto heist.
There’s only one compelling reason to play this game. That’s because you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to get on the leaderboard. Totillo said he finished in the top 10 of the world leaderboards with fewer than 100 players. I can’t say this game was a huge hit yet.
This isn’t the first time Ubisoft has quietly released a Web3-based game to capitalize on the NFT boom, which waned in popularity a few years ago. Ubisoft Quartz released the tactical RPG Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles in October, allowing players to purchase NFTs for up to $6,300.
