Unfortunately its drop in popularity was just as sudden, and almost as immediate. Eighteen months later, Ubisoft have announced they’re ending development and shutting the game down on April 28th.
“We have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28th,” readsthe extremely brief post. “We set out to create a vertical, close-quarters, and fast-paced shooter experience and we are extremely grateful to our community for joining us on our journey. We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products.”
