Does anyone remember that spinoff/expansion of Far Cry 3 back in 2013: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon? It was basically one big homage to/parody of 1980s sci-fi action films and other media. I mean seriously, the main character has the name of Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt. How much more 80s can you get than that? Well, as it turns out: Ubisoft has decided that game would make a great animated series on Netflix. Why else would they release a teaser for said animated series, which has the very distinct title of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix? Don’t believe me? Then why not check out that official teaser trailer for yourself, and revel in the 80s-flavored cheese?
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix ~ The Bloody Details
Netflix and Ubisoft are proud to announce the hilariously titled Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix via that official teaser trailer on YouTube above. Said teaser reveals that Ubisoft is going all out for this upcoming animated series, with so many references to their games in this series. In particular, Assassin’s Creed fans would definitely notice the reference here, even if the Assassin appears to be an anthropomorphic frog thing.
Even better, Netflix and Ubisoft are giving us a release window for this upcoming animated series. Apparently, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix will make its retro-futuristic debut sometime in Fall 2023. Unfortunately, we don’t have a more exact release date than that for you all. Tune back into THS later to get that more exact release date when we do.
Bonus: Synopsis
That’s not all, folks! Netflix and Ubisoft have an official synopsis for Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix for us today as a further teaser. You can check that out below:
The year is 1992. The country formerly known as the USA is now called Eden, a technocracy ruled by propaganda and corruption. Super-soldier Dolph Laserhawk has just been betrayed by the love of his life and locked up in Eden’s top security prison Supermaxx. He must now lead a team of rebel outcasts on risky undercover missions in order to survive. CAPTAIN LASERHAWK: A BLOOD DRAGON REMIX is an original anime series mixing alternative Ubisoft characters in a highly referenced homage to the early 90s.
Adi Shankar voices Red from the Niji Six in the show, inspired by Rainbow Six Siege. “Balak” lends his voice as the sweet but deadly Assassin, Bullfrog, inspired by Assassin’s Creed. Dolph Laserhawk is voiced by Nathaniel Curtis (Witcher: Blood Origin, It’s A Sin), Mark Ebulue voices Marcus Holloway (Watch Dogs 2), and Boris Hiestand (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) voices Alex.
