It’s a bit late to the battle royale party, butHyper Scapeis just about ready to leave open beta. Ditching the Twitch-drop invites to enter open beta earlier this month, Ubisoft’s take on the massive last-person-standing deathmatch genre launches properly next month, kicking off its first season with a new weapon, new hack, limited-time modes and the almost-mandatory 100-tier battle pass.
Of course, you canhop into Hyper Scape’s open beta right now. But if you want those new goodies, you’ll have to stick around ‘til August 11th for the game’s “official” launch and Season One debut.

I comboed that with Shockwave, which also let me leap high into the air, but knocked enemies around and did burst damage. In my most silly round, I spent much of my time bouncing around inside a big metallic hamster ball.”
Hyper Scape is currently free to download and play over onUplay. Barring some catastrophe, it’ll still be there come its full release on August 11th.
