Netflix’s Far Cry Animated Adaptation: Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
Netflix’s highly anticipated Far Cry animated adaptation, titled Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, is set to premiere on the streaming service on October 19th. To build excitement ahead of its release, Netflix has unveiled a new trailer showcasing the series’ action-packed chaos, featuring appearances from Rayman and several other familiar Ubisoft characters.
Reimagining Far Cry 3 Expansion: Blood Dragon
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix draws inspiration from Ubisoft’s delightfully over-the-top 80s-inspired expansion for Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon. The series takes place in an alternate version of Earth in 1992, where a powerful tech company named Eden exerts social control through mass surveillance and big data.
The Storyline and Characters
The series follows the adventures of Dolph Laserhawk, the protagonist and a cybernetically enhanced super soldier. Laserhawk manages to escape from the clutches of the Eden army and plans to carry out a final heist before starting a new life with his boyfriend, Alex. However, Laserhawk’s plans take an unexpected turn when he is betrayed by Alex, leading to his capture and imprisonment in a high-security facility. With no other choice, Laserhawk joins forces with a group of unlikely rebels to seek revenge and bring down Eden’s oppressive regime.
Ubisoft Crossovers
The eclectic rebel group includes a reimagined version of Altaïr from Assassin’s Creed, transformed into a frog. Additionally, Jade and Pey\’J from Beyond Good & Evil make appearances, adding to the crossover excitement. To further the Ubisoft nods, Rayman even makes a cameo as a news anchor, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the series. The combination of these beloved characters promises a wild and exhilarating viewing experience.
Adi Shankar’s Creative Touch
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is created by Adi Shankar, a talent known for his involvement in Netflix’s critically acclaimed Castlevania series and the highly anticipated Devil May Cry animated adaptation. With Shankar’s expertise and vision, the six-episode run of Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is sure to captivate audiences when it debuts on Netflix on October 19th.
