An unannounced game titled 'Captain Laserhawk: Niji Warrior,' speculated to be a Far Cry spinoff, has been spotted with an online rating. This potential PvP multiplayer game is tied to the Netflix animation 'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix,' which is linked to the acclaimed 'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.' Specifics from the now-removed PEGI rating hint at laser deathmatches with destructible player avatars and microtransactions. Although details are currently scarce, Ubisoft, the publisher behind Far Cry, has yet to officially acknowledge the title. This discovery coincides with rumors about a possible 'Far Cry 7' and follows the latest series entry, 'Far Cry 6,' which was well-received upon its release in 2021.
What is 'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix'?
'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix' is a Netflix animated series that draws inspiration from 'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon,' a popular standalone expansion for 'Far Cry 3.' The show continues the expansion's retro-futuristic and neon-infused aesthetic, embedding itself within the larger 'Far Cry' universe.
The 'Far Cry' series is known for its open-world gameplay and blend of action and adventure across exotic and often dangerous locales. Originally starting with the first 'Far Cry' game released in 2004, the series has since evolved with numerous main entries and spin-offs, including the renowned 'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.' This title, released in 2013, was a departure from the main series' realistic settings, offering a satirical, 80s inspired retro-futuristic world that quickly gained a cult following. With this potential new title and rumors of 'Far Cry 7,' it appears Ubisoft is set to expand this universe even further.
