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.

One interesting stat:

  • Podcast NFT mints on the Pods dapp have seen about 475,000 mints and $1 million in mint volume in the last year.
  • NFT trading volumes continue to trend down to 115,000 ETH for the month of September, its lowest since January 2021. The number of unique NFT buyers is also down to 30,000.
