Ubisoft is once again extending its presence in the blockchain space by releasing a new collection of NFT avatars for The Sandbox, a metaverse game. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix — The Sandbox Avatar Collection, a collaboration between Ubisoft and The Sandbox, offers an opportunity for a rare collection and an exciting gaming experience set in the dystopian world of Captain Laserhawk.
What’s Inside?
There will be an allowlist before the actual date of minting. Only wallets that have registered are allowed to mint avatars during allowlist periods. The details of the collection are as follows:
Allowlist: 3,000 spots available and 3,000 winners
Begins at 02:00 on November 22, 2023 (GMT+8)
Finishes at 5:00 PM on November 27, 2023 (GMT+8)
Date of minting: Nov. 29, 2023, 11:00 p.m. (GMT+8)
The Sandbox Avatar Collection’s Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix will see the creation of 1,866 avatars in total. For marketing purposes, Ubisoft and The Sandbox will each have 100 NFTs set aside.
Every avatar will be playable across the entire metaverse of The Sandbox. They all grant access to events, rewards, content, and future features.
Avatar holders have exclusive play and earn opportunities that allow them to earn SAND and/or NFT through gameplay.
Once the initial sale has ended, those who are still looking to get their hands on the collection will be able to buy as many avatars as they want from people who are willing to sell theirs on OpenSea’s secondary marketplace.
The animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which debuted on Netflix in October, was influenced by Ubisoft’s 2013 video game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
