The Arbitrum Foundation has joined forces with Ubisoft and Sequence to launch a new game called ‘Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.’

The new game, built on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain, is an effort that the Arbitrum Foundation, Sequence and Ubisoft Labs are putting together

Web3 gaming company Sequence has teamed up with Ubisoft and Arbitrum to launch a new blockchain game titled ‘Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.’

The new game, which is built on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain, will see the Arbitrum Foundation, Sequence, and Ubisoft Labs coming together to expand upon ‘Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.’

The latter is a game series that was produced by Ubisoft for Netflix, the platforms announced.

The G.A.M.E. to integrate Arbitrum, Sequence tech

An announcement on Aug. 6 revealed that the new game will be using the Arbitrum blockchain for its first activation and core, leveraging the platform’s scalability and user onboarding technology. The gaming adventure will also be integrating Sequence’s blockchain tooling.

G.A.M.E. will feature iconic characters from major franchise titles such as Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good and Evil.

“With Arbitrum’s supercharged blockchain infrastructure and Sequence’s full Web3 stack as the foundation, Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. is poised to be a groundbreaking player-driven project,” said Nicolas Pouard of Ubisoft Labs.

The launch on Arbitrum will allow users to shape the game’s story, gameplay, and side experiences.

A boost for Arbitrum’s gaming ecosystem

Nina Rong, head of ecosystem development at Arbitrum Foundation, added that the collaboration will spark further growth for the blockchain network’s expanding gaming ecosystem.

“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. Arbitrum’s gaming ecosystem continues to flourish, and an increased focus from legacy studios will only expedite that growth,” said Rong.

In June 2024, the Arbitrum Foundation unveiled a $215 million incentive program to catalyze gaming development on Arbitrum. The initiative will see 225 million ARB being distributed to top game developers building on the network.

According to Dapp Radar, some of the top Arbitrum games include Rumble Racing Star, GOAT Gaming, GombleGames, Treasure, and Crypto Unicorns.
