'''''Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix''''' is an adult animated streaming television series produced by [[Ubisoft]] Film & Television and animated by Bobbypills. Developed by Adi Shankar and loosely adapted from ''Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon'', it premiered on Netflix on October 19, 2023.

Notably, the series incorporates characters and elements from various [[Ubisoft]] franchises, including ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'', ''[[Beyond Good & Evil]]'', ''Rainbow Six'', ''Assassin's Creed'' and ''Watch Dogs''.

[[Rayman]], voiced by David Menkin, is one of the main characters. An alien from the parallel world of Dimension X, he is the public face of Eden, the totalitarian megacorporation which has replaced the United States of America. As such, he is the presenter of various shows, such as ''The Eden Late Show'' and ''The Eden Report'', and the face of the Rayman Kids, a youth organisation which indoctrinates children and encourages them to report suspicious actions to the regime.

==Announcement==

[[Ubisoft]] initially introduced the show in October 2019, naming it ''Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe'', under the direction of Adi Shankar, known for his work on the ''Castlevania'' TV series. During Netflix's "Geeked Week" virtual event in June 2021, Shankar announced his role as the producer for the series, which draws inspiration from ''Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon'' and was therefore renamed ''Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix''. Shankar led the project, collaborating with the Paris-based animation studio Bobbypills for production. Creative direction was overseen by Balak, with Mehdi Leffad as the director. Producers from [[Ubisoft]] Film & Television included Gérard Guillemot, Hélène Juguet, and Hugo Revon.
