Assassin Creed creator Ubisoft, has announced a brand new first-person shooter free-to-play title – set in a Battle Royale setting – being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and releasing on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, Hyper Scape.
The game is currently in testing for a limited-time on PC in North America and Europe. For Console players, there is no test just yet, however for PC players, they can gain access to the Technical Test by watching Hyper Scape on Twitch Channels that have Twitch Drops enabled. The game currently includes a “Crown Rush” mode, which is a three-player squad more that allows players to team up against dozens of other players. The game will also offer its usual Battle Royale dish of 100 player battles.
According to Ubisoft on their official website:
Hyper Scape is an urban futuristic free-to-play Battle Royale where 100 Contenders engage in first-person shooter close-quarters and fast-paced matches to become the next global superstar.
Hyper Scape was designed from the ground up as an intense, vertical and fast-paced battle royale experience. Three-player squads and solo players can dive into the futuristic virtual city of Neo- Arcadia to engage in dynamic firefights, quickly transitioning from narrow streets to open rooftops and deadly interiors.
Hyper Scape introduces Hacks, abilities that players can loot in the world the same way they do weapons. Hacks grant offensive and defensive capabilities to suit all playstyles. Laying down a mine, seeking an enemy, protecting the squad with a big wall or turning invisible to sneak up on opponents are just a few examples of the Hacks players can combine and swap effortlessly. All Hacks and weapons can be upgraded through the Fusion mechanic to produce more powerful iterations of the pre-existing item.
Hyper Scape innovates and twists the battle royale formula in many ways, such as the unpredictable Decay which dissolves the map of Neo-Arcadia into different patterns, or the unique Echo mechanic that keeps players active in the battle even when they’re down. At the end of a Hyper Scape match, the climatic showdown phase starts when the Hyper Scape crown spawns on the map. Players have two different ways to claim victory, either by picking up and carrying the crown for 45 seconds or by being the last player or squad standing.
Hyper Scape is fun to play and rewarding to watch. Developed in partnership with Twitch, the Hyper Scape Crowncast Twitch extension will entertain viewers by letting them impact the game in real time, creating unprecedented interaction between streamers and their fans. Viewers will also have a real-time impact on the battle by voting on events that affect all contenders within a match, such as low gravity or infinite ammo.
