Ubisoft has announced its battle royale title Hyper Scape is set to launch next month on August 11, and it will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. On the other hand, the currently live Open Beta of the game will end next week on August 3.
To thank the players and fans that made the beta a success, Ubisoft is also launching a special reward event this weekend. Playing the beta or watching it on Twitch for at least an hour will give you 600 Bitcrowns on August 11 when Season One launches. The ways you can unlock this reward are:
- PLAY the Open Beta for at least one hour this weekend
- WATCH eligible Hyper Scape streams on Twitch for at least one hour. (Streams must have the Crowncast extension enabled. Players must first link their Uplay account using the extension and claim at least one battle pass point to be eligible)
The process of claiming the reward is live right now and will last until the Open Beta of the game ends on Monday, August 3.
When the game launches on console, it will also launch with Season One. This will be the first time players will experience the game on consoles. Console players who have unlocked or purchased Technical Test and Open Beta cosmetic items, either by playing the live phases on PC or through Hyper Scape Crowncast, will have access to all those items when playing on console, as Hyper Scape supports cross-progression on all platforms.
Senior Producer for Hyper Scape at Ubisoft Montréal Graeme Jennings had this to say,
While the game has already been accessible on PC since our first test phase, Season One is for us the true launch of Hyper Scape. We have leveraged our test periods to develop and release frequent updates, notably on the global balance. With those updates we are now ready to welcome console players into the mix, with lots of new content to enjoy.
Hyper Scape’s first season will introduce a brand new mid-range weapon, the Dragonfly, as well as a new hack, Magnet, which can be used to trap unsuspecting contenders. Season One will include a total of 11 guns and 11 hacks. In addition to Solo and Squad Crown Rush, additional limited-time game modes are also planned for Season One.
It will also begin the story of Hyper Scape, where there is a mystery in the Hyper Scape created by Prisma Dimensions that players will have to solve. Season One introduces Memory Shards that players can collect to discover more about certain characters and events. Every week, a new Memory Shard will be hidden in the game world, for players to find and collect. In addition to Memory Shards, comics will be released during Season One and following Seasons, building Hyper Scape’s story.
Like any other battle royale, Hyper Scape Season One will also have its own Battle Pass. This Battle Pass offers a free and a premium track and features 100 tiers of exclusive cosmetic items to unlock during the Season. The premium track of the Battle Pass is available for 950 Bitcrowns, the in-game currency. Players get Bitcrowns by simply playing the game, or by purchasing packs of Bitcrowns with real money on the Ubisoft or first party stores.
