Ubisoft’s Hyper Scape battle royale enters open beta

Ubisoft is launching the open beta today for its new science fiction battle royale game called Hyper Scape, where 100 players fight to be the last one standing while the audience tries to influence the outcome.

Ubisoft revealed Hyper Scape on July 2 as a free-to-play battle royale game, which is a hot genre with titles like Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Hyper Scape will debut on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One later this summer. Ubisoft just finished its first tech test with players on the PC in North America and Europe.
