Summary
Ubisoft appears to be developing aFar Cryspin-off based on theCaptain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remixanimated series, some newly emerged evidence suggests. CalledCaptain Laserhawk Niji Warrior, the game in question is poised to be the series' first spin-off since theZero Latency-developedFar Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity, which hit the market in June 2021.
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remixis a critically acclaimed animated seriesinspired byFar Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The anime was created by Adi Shankar, an American filmmaker whom gaming audiences might recognize for his work on theCastlevania: Nocturneseries, where he serves as an executive producer.A Blood Dragon Remixhit Netflix in mid-October 2023 and was met with a warm reception from the fandom and critics alike. However, neither Ubisoft nor Netflix have yet given any indication that there are plans to expand on this IP beyond the anime’s initial six-episode run.
Be that as it may, the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) database has just added a rating forCaptain Laserhawk Niji Warrior. The newly surfaced listing describes the unannouncedFar Cryspin-off as a multiplayer experience that tasks players with competing to eliminate the most opponents in a game of “laser deathmatch.” The title received a PEGI 12 rating due to its depictions of violence against humanoid characters, with that classification being more lenient than the one attached to the actual anime. For reference, Netflix recommendsCaptain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remixfor ages 16 and up.
Captain Laserhawk Niji Warrior PEGI Rating
The PEGI rating also reveals thatCaptain Laserhawk Niji Warrorwill feature microtransactions, specifically mentioning the ability to purchase in-game cosmetics. While that description might point to this being a free-to-play mobile experience, the classification lists PC as the game’s sole target platform. That’s not to sayCaptain Laserhawk Niji Warrorwill necessarily be a PC exclusive, as major publishers often file for separate game ratings in case of staggered platform releases. The PEGI rating lists the game’s release date as August 02, 2025, which is either a decisively strange placeholder or an indicator that Ubisoft ended up delaying thisFar Cryspin-offprior to its announcement.
How ‘Niji Warrior’ Connects to Captain Laserhawk
The very title of this purportedFar Cryspin-off appears to be a reference to Niji 6, a group of superheroes featured inCaptain Laserhawkthat were based on bothPower RangersandRainbow Six Siege. Even the group’s very name is a reference to Ubisoft’s long-running franchise, as “niji” is the Japanese word for rainbow. All Niji 6 members also happen to don the colors of the rainbow.
The chances thatCaptain Laserhawk Niji Warriorends up being released are fairly high, as it’s rare to see publishers go through the trouble of classifying games that aren’t guaranteed to see the light of day. Apart from this unannounced spin-off of a spin-off,Ubisoft is currently also working onFar Cry 7.
