HyperScape
(July 2020 – April 2022 )
It’s no shock that Ubisoft would try and cash in on the battle royale genre and in 2020 it released its first big swing at that market: Free-to-play urban first-person shooter, Hyper Scape. The game boasted tight, responsive combat controls, lots of verticality, and deep integration with Twitch.
Initially, thanks to its surprise July 2020 launch, Ubisoft’s slick-looking battle royale attracted a lot of streamers and players. But soon after that, things went south for the game. In October 2020, Ubisoft announced plans to overhaul and improve the game. But that wasn’t enough and it all shut down in April 2022
