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.

Ubisoft announced that Hyper Scape will release on Epic Games Store on Thursday, December 17, 2020.

In addition, console crossplay is now available alongside Hyper Scape’s Winter Festival. Along with these major updates, new improvements have been made to the Team Deathmatch Mode (Beta)  that was recently added to Hyper Scape, but also to combat, Arcadium free roam mode, and the marketplace as part of the Title Update that released December 10.

CONSOLE CROSSPLAY

Console crossplay is now available for Hyper Scape, allowing matchmaking between PlayStation and Xbox players across all modes of Hyper Scape, including Crown Rush Battle Royale modes and Team Deathmatch. This includes players on both current and next-gen consoles. PC players will be able to party up with console friends in the same squad, in this case the full squad will be placed in the PC matchmaking pool.

EPIC GAMES STORE

Hyper Scape will be available on the Epic Games Store starting December 17. PC players will now be able to download, install and play Hyper Scape for free on both Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store.

WINTER FESTIVAL

Winter is coming in the Hyper Scape from December 15 to December 29! Discover a snow-covered Neo-Arcadia and brand new festive cosmetics to partake in the holiday celebrations.

TEAM DEATHMATCH (BETA)

Following the first release on November 18, improvements have been made to the Team Deathmatch Beta in the December 10 Title Update:

• Random Map Rotation: Random map rotation available to feature three Team Deathmatch maps (The Foundry, Hillside, Bus Depot)
• New Score Cap: Kill cap for a match has been increased to 50, and max match length extended to 12 minutes
• Activated Challenges: Standard challenges are now enabled in Team Deathmatch

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.

Hyper Scape Season One also includes new customization items through its Battle Pass. This Battle Pass offers a free and a premium track and features 100 tiers of exclusive cosmetic items to unlock during the Season. The premium track of the Battle Pass is available for 950 Bitcrowns, the in-game currency. Players get Bitcrowns by simply playing the game, or by purchasing packs of Bitcrowns with real money on the Ubisoft or first party stores. Similar to the Open Beta, viewers can progress their Battle Pass simply by watching Hyper Scape streams on Twitch with the Hyper Scape Crowncast extension enabled. Additional customization items will be available through the in-game shop.

Hyper Scape is available for PC, Xbox One and PS4, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions to follow at a later time.
