Hyper Scape will be a Battle Royale Game from Ubisoft

The presence of a new free to play battle royale game from Ubisoft called Hyper Scape with its rumored futuristic theme will be announced on July 2nd.

But in contrast to their announcements in general, Hyper Scape was announced through streamers and content creators both on Twitch and YouTube. Indicate that the leak that had circulated the Hyper Scape collaboration with Twitch is really real.

What Is a Battle Royale Game

Battle royale game is a game in which the players (or can also join a small squad) must be able to survive to be the last.

At the beginning of the game, usually the player will jump from an airplane (some even from a flying bus) and land at certain places without carrying a weapon.

Weapons and various equipment can be found in various locations on the map. After that, we are required to eliminate all opponents with our weapons.

There is a circle called the Safe Zone. The longer, the circle gets smaller so you will soon meet the remaining enemies.

Each player usually only has one life per game, except for certain games like Apex Legends.

When playing squad mode, usually before death the player will enter the knockdown phase which can be helped by his teammates to get back healthy.

Hyper Scape has integration with Twitch which allows the audience to interfere in the match. For example, accelerating the pace of the game, giving healing items, and others.

On the other hand, Ubisoft also still announces Hyper Scape through a trailer that you can watch above. It seems that the gameplay is really fast with a futuristic theme, where 100 players will compete in the city of Neo-Arcadia set in 2054.

Each player will have an ability called Hacks, where they can take any item in their world including weapons. Hacks will have offensive and defensive abilities. For example, installing mines, looking for enemies, protecting squad with walls, or making invisible players to attack enemies secretly. Hacks will be able to be upgraded through Fusion Mechanic to increase its strength.

Ubisoft's plan to integrate it with Twitch is also transitioning to their ways to invite their players from today until 7 July. Same with Valorant, you who are interested in playing Hyper Scape earlier in the closed technical test period on American and European servers will be able to watch your favorite streamers to get Twitch drop. You just need to connect your Ubisoft account to Twitch and watch the HyperScapeGame stream to get the chance to drop it.

The test will also allow you to try a 10 level free battle pass which will be taken when the game is released.

As of this writing, Ubisoft is still reluctant to announce when Hyper Scape will be released. But if according to Rod Breslau's leak is true, then the possibility of the game will be visited by PC on 12-13 July 2020 depending on which region you are in.
