Hyper Scape is the new game from Ubisoft Montreal. The title is part of that genre so popular lately, that of battle royale. But he does it with some novelties with which they intend to achieve are many who end up hooking him, either by the mechanics as a player or as a spectator. You’ll make it?
What is Hyper Scape
Hyper Scape is the new game presented by Ubisoft Montreal, a title of which something had already been rumored and now we have all the complete data. Of course, for now it is in the closed beta phase, but it can be accessed with a little luck and patience. So let’s talk about what it offers, when the official launch is expected for everyone and the platforms on which you can play this battle royale. Before, the launch trailer.
As you can see, Hyper Scape is part of this genre that has been so fashionable in recent years. It is a battle royale with mechanics very similar to those that other titles currently offer. On the one hand we have games where up to 100 players will compete against each other, well formed squads of three players or alone. Everything will depend on the way they choose when playing.
Victory can be achieved by capturing a crown that will appear randomly on the map and wearing it for more than 45 seconds or in the way that most confrontations possibly end: being the last to fall , either you or your squad. So, little new in this regard by Hyper Scape. Although with this we do not want to take away merits, because it really is the genre and they all end up being a carbon copy in terms of game mode.
The differences come in terms of setting and an option that we then see in more detail. In Hyper Scape you are one of the many players who take on the idea of escaping poverty within a city called Neo Arcadia with a futuristic touch. For more signs, the action is set in 2054.
This scenario provides a fairly vertical way of playing and the use of super powers that the participants will have and will determine a good part of the confrontations according to whether or not they know how to take advantage of them at all times. These powers, known as hacks, will allow you to place explosive mines, become invisible, track other enemies, and countless other defensive and offensive abilities. Still, the ace under Hyper Scape’s command is Twitch
Twitch, the “secret” weapon of Hyper Scape
To get the attention of the players, Hyper Space kept the Twitch card up its sleeve. The game, according to Ubisoft, has been built exclusively for Twitch, or to take advantage of the opportunities that the video game streaming platform could offer.
This means that the spectators will also have an active role in the development of the games. Because they will be able to vote through events while watching a game and that will modify aspects such as the gravitational force, among other aspects. And that is just the beginning, over time we imagine that there will be news that players will have to count on and that will not depend on them but on those who see them. Will the spectators be able to change the course of a confrontation? It will be interesting to check it.
Hyper Scape, platforms available
Hyper Scape will be released for both PS4 and Xbox and PC. At the moment the closed beta is only available for PC and from July 2 to July 8. In order to access you must use your Twitch and UPlay account by following these steps to claim your access code . A strategy that we have already seen with Valorant and that seems to work by allowing visibility to be gained so that more players are attracted.
Regarding the official launch for all platforms, we will have to wait until the end of the years. We will see if between now and then the game gets traction or ends up as the latest proposal from Amazon. Something pro or probable, because Ubisoft already has experience in all this, but the battle royale genre is still complex.
