Ubisoft to launch NFT collection via Magic Eden

Gaming juggernaut Ubisoft is launching the “Niji Warrior ID Cards” NFT collection on the Arbitrum layer-2 via the Magic Eden marketplace.

The NFT mint will be a collection of 10,000 and will use dynamic metadata to reflect player activity in Ubisoft’s upcoming multiplayer shooter game Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., as well as governance over the game’s updates.

Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. is inspired by the “Blood Dragon” video game from Ubisoft’s popular Far Cry series, which also has an accompanying animated TV series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix” on Netflix.

This marks Magic Eden’s first NFT deployment on Arbitrum, as well as Ubisoft’s second foray into blockchain gaming. Its first, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, is an upcoming gothic-themed turn-based RPG that is set to launch on the Oasys layer-1 blockchain.
