Arbitrum teams up with Ubisoft to launch new game

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in both blockchain technology and gaming industries, I find this partnership between Arbitrum Foundation, Ubisoft, and Sequence to be a significant stride towards the convergence of these two rapidly evolving sectors.


The Arbitrum Foundation, in partnership with Ubisoft and Sequence, is unveiling a brand-new title called ‘Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.’ as their joint venture.

The team consisting of the Arbitrum Foundation, Sequence, and Ubisoft Labs is collaborating on a new game, which is based on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain, as an endeavor to extend ‘Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.’

‘A Blood Dragon Remix’ is a game series that Ubisoft produced for Netflix, the platforms announced.

The G.A.M.E. to leverage Arbitrum blockchain

Based on an announcement made on August 6th, the upcoming game is set to debut on the Arbitrum blockchain for its initial deployment and foundation. This choice is driven by Arbitrum’s scalability and user-friendly onboarding technology. Additionally, the gaming experience will include tools from Sequence’s blockchain platform.

G.A.M.E plans to showcase renowned figures hailing from popular series like Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good and Evil.

“According to Nicolas Pouard from Ubisoft Labs, Arbitrum’s powerful blockchain foundation combined with Sequence’s complete web3 suite sets Captain Laserhawk: the G.A.M.E. up for a trailblazing project that empowers players.”

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

Boost for Arbitrum’s gaming ecosystem

Nina Rong, who leads ecosystem development at Arbitrum Foundation, stated that this partnership will fuel additional expansion for the burgeoning gaming sector of their blockchain network.

“Rong pointed out it’s thrilling to witness established gaming companies like Ubisoft considering Arbitrum as a platform for their community-centric projects. This move signals progress towards broader industry adoption and accessibility. The gaming environment on Arbitrum is thriving, and the attention from veteran studios will undoubtedly accelerate this growth.”

By June 2024, the Arbitrum Foundation announced a $215 million incentive scheme aimed at fueling game creation within the Arbitrum ecosystem. This program intends to allocate 225 million ARB tokens to leading game developers who are actively building on the network.

Based on Dapp Radar’s data, the leading games on the Arbitrum network are Rumble Racing Star, GOAT Gaming, GombleGames, Treasure, and Crypto Unicorns.
