Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix was one of Ubisoft’s major new projects showed off during their Ubisoft Forward presentation that saw series creator Adi Shankar taking the stage to outline much of how this new anime series is like a “love letter” to the 1990s after starting work on this newest series seven long years ago.

What to Know for Ubisoft’s Far Cry Anime Series
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is currently slated to release worldwide on Netflix later this Fall. Created and produced by Adi Shankar, and directed by Mehdi Leffad for animation studio Bobbypills, this new Far Cry Netflix anime series was teased by Shankar during the event as “us[ing] Ubisoft’s vast library of characters and remix[ing] them into one delirious anime series that would become this love letter to the ’90s.” Elaborating further that this new series is “…a spoof, it’s a satire, it’s dark comedy. It’s a love story. And as a descendant of Indian mystics, I can tell you it’s philosophically conscious show you’ve watched in a long time.”
As for what to expect from the story behind the new series, Ubisoft teases Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix as such, “The series is set in an alternative 1992 in the country formerly known as the USA.Now called Eden, it is 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.”
