The Arbitrum Foundation and Sequence, in collaboration with Ubisoft Labs, unveiled the Web3 gaming adventure Captain Laserhawk: the Eden Online Experience.
Expanding the universe of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix series — produced by Ubisoft for Netflix — the new title will feature iconic characters from famous franchises including Assassin’s Creed, Rayman, and Beyond Good and Evil, among others.
The first activation and core of the Eden Online Experience will be built on Arbitrum, leveraging the
blockchain’s ability to handle the scale and speed required to foster a growing and active community. Sequence will provide critical blockchain tooling to the partnership.
The Eden Online Experience is a transmedia gaming adventure where the community drives the narrative through innovative web3 governance. Players step into the role of a citizen in the dystopian world of Eden – the totalitarian successor to the US.

By overcoming challenges across various channels inside and outside Ubisoft’s ecosystem, players can raise their citizen score and increase their power to shape the narrative. As the story unfolds, the entire community will have the opportunity to influence the plot and participate in key decision-making moments by unlocking, creating, and sharing content.
This experience stands out for its unprecedented level of player influence over the game’s development, empowering the community to help craft its evolution. Over time, as players progress, their characters can transform from faceless individuals into influential leaders within the game.
“With Arbitrum’s supercharged blockchain infrastructure and Sequence’s full web3 stack as the foundation, Captain Laserhawk: the Eden Online Experience is poised to be a groundbreaking player-driven project,” said Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft Labs, in a statement. “Here, players can have fun and actively contribute to the lore and evolution of the game. Blockchain features on Arbitrum empower us to give the community a real voice in shaping the story, gameplay, and even side experiences. This fosters transparency and shared creation, paving the way for a truly collaborative future for Captain Laserhawk.”
Pouard said in an interview with GamesBeat in March that Ubisoft will return to Web3 gaming with multiple titles this year.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Ubisoft, one of the world’s most renowned game publishers, and Arbitrum, a leading and robust blockchain ecosystem, to pioneer a new generation of games,” said Peter Kieltyka, CEO of Sequence, in a statement. “Sequence’s easy-to-integrate web3 platform ensures seamless player journeys and unlocks endless creative gameplay and world-building opportunities for Captain Laserhawk and its players.”
“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 Nina Rong, head of ecosystem development at Arbitrum Foundation, in a statement.
Ubisoft said it is committed to adhering to community feedback and will closely monitor the needs of
players as they venture into the new Captain Laserhawk experience.
The Arbitrum Foundation, founded in March 2023, supports and grows the Arbitrum network and
its community with secure scaling solutions for Ethereum. Arbitrum One—a leading Ethereum
Layer-2 scaling solution initially developed by Offchain Labs—offers ultra-fast, low-cost
transactions with security derived from Ethereum through Optimistic Rollup technology.
Launched in August 2021, the Arbitrum One mainnet beta is EVM-compatible to the bytecode level and has 54%+ TVL in the L2 segment. More than 2,000 DeFi and NFT projects are live in the ecosystem to date. In August 2022, Arbitrum One upgraded to Nitro tech stack, enabling fraud proofs over the core
engine of Geth compiled to WASM.
