Recently, Ubisoft released Rainbow Six Extraction, which is surprisingly good. There’s also the fact that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline, another free-to-play FPS from Ubisoft, is coming later this year. There are also tons of great free-to-play games that make success difficult, even for a huge company like Ubisoft. Between Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Fortnite, the battle royale genre is overflowing with fierce competition.Ī message regarding the future of Hyper Scape: /8HplpcqdCY Ubisoft didn’t elaborate on why Hyper Scape is shutting down, but it’s likely due to the game never finding an audience. “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 have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28,” Ubisoft said. Over on Hyper Scape’s website, a statement quietly let everyone know that the free-to-play first-person shooter is closing up shop on April 29, 2022. The Redfall skill tree is split into five different sections, with an additional four skills at the top that boost your character’s survivability. But whether this next title can overcome Ubisoft’s recent shooter hoodoo is anybody’s guess.Hyper Scape, the neon-cyberpunk battle royale from Ubisoft, will shut down soon. There’s also supposedly a “Destiny Tower” shared social space where players can head to a firing range, join an event, go to a shop, or have races with vehicles.Įverything is supposedly still in very early development, but right now it sounds like Ubisoft is attempting to use some of the bones of Hyper Scape and fusing it together with little bits of Destiny and many other third-person shooters. In addition to this different take on the BR formula, Henderson claims that the game will feature some sort of hero class system too, with characters having different abilities they can use in combat. Presumably, the game will be PvPvE, as you’ll be dropping into the map with other players, so the AI will not be your only threat.” “In order to get to the middle of the map, players will need to fight AI enemies to level up and get stronger, with AI getting noticeably more difficult the further toward the middle of the map you get. The catch? Different gates are breachable or locked every single game, making each game different in terms of the path you need to navigate.” “Players need to navigate their way through two walls (an outer wall and an inner wall) that have a series of gates around them that can be reachable. “Pathfinder appears to be a slightly different take on a Battle Royale, where a team of four players will drop into the map and find their path towards the center to fight the main AI boss,” Henderson claims. Yeh, remember that? Another free-to-play, fast-paced arena shooter that was seemingly so bad it hasn’t even managed to get out of testing following a reveal in early 2021.ĭespite this, the developer is supposedly working on yet another new battle royale third-person shooter game called ‘Pathfinder’.Īccording to a report by Exputer, penned by well-known insider Tom Henderson, the ‘Pathfinder’ project has a very similar style and look as Hyper Scape. Officially Hyper Scape will shut down later this month on April 28. It doesn’t seem like Ubisoft were even that interested in reviving the title either since major updates for the game were actually ceased just a year after launch. Hyper Scape, which from memory had a decent enough reception at launch, failed to build any sort of momentum and then just petered out. Yes, there’s been a few hits, but in recent years they’ve not exactly had a good time of it, especially whilst attempting to chase popular trends.Įarlier this year Ubisoft announced it was closing down its battle royale game Hyper Scape just two years after the game originally launched. Ubisoft has a bit of a funny history when it comes to shooter games.
