[[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. | |||
