Hyper Scape is an upcoming Free-to-play Battle royale game Video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The game is notable for its integration with video game live streamers which allows viewers on Twitch to affect the outcome of a match.
Setting
The game takes place in year 2054 in Neo-Arcadia, part of a Metaverse created by a company Prisma Dimensions Within this metaverse players do battle with each other in a sport known as Crown-Rush. The verge has likened the setting to that of The Oasis found in Ready Player One. [2] [3]
Gameplay
The game's main mode shares elements with other Battle Royale games, where up to 99 players are dropped on to a map that slowly shrinks over time with players seeking to eliminate the competition. The game however differs in that once the last sector closes a crown appears, any player that is able to hold on to the crown for 45 seconds is automatically declared the winner. Alternatively the game also end when only one player or team remains.[4] [3] [5]
Throughout the game players can find both weapons as well as special abilities known as "Hacks" such as letting the player transform into a giant ball from which they can bounce around or letting them become invisible. Players can only have two weapons and hacks available at a time although the latter can be swapped out during a round. [1]
When a player is killed they become an "Echo" While Echo's can't kill any opponents they are able to "ping" other members of their team to alert them to dangers or points of interest. When an enemy is killed, they drop a revive point which allows a team to respawn fallen teammates. [3]
Throughout the match the A.I host can modify the game world, including revealing every enemy on the game's minimap giving weapons infinite ammo or turning on a low-gravity mode. viewers watching the game on Twitch can vote which will help the A.I decide what modifications to turn on,.[1]
