We are, in other words, far past the point of genre oversaturation. These days, no matter where you look, every upturned stone has several pretenders to the battle royale throne clinging to its mossy underbelly. Hyper Space has some cool ideas and is, some mostly minor bugs aside, competently put-together, but what Ubisoft does next will decide whether or not it has any real staying power. It’s an enjoyable twist, but as a viewer, it didn’t really make me feel more invested in matches, and half the time, everybody just picked anti-grav, because ” somewhat fittingly ” it’s the most obviously spectacular option available. Normally, the game just unleashes one of these effects on players, but if streamers are playing, their viewers can vote on which one gets deployed. Or players might suddenly find health packs everywhere, or they’ll be extremely visible to each other, or everyone might get infinite ammo for several seconds. This might mean a sudden, brief period of low gravity across the entire map, which is admittedly very fun. At certain points during each match, the game throws players a curveball. Matches, you see, unfold similarly regardless of whether Twitch streamers and viewers are involved. But the rest, at least from a viewer’s perspective, is relatively standard battle royale fare, and the main spectator-driven feature, Twitch integration, comes off as gimmicky. Turning the end of each match into a wild chase, especially, is a masterstroke ” a shift that all at once communicates that a game is in its final phase, establishes new stakes that are easy to understand, and infuses each remaining moment with a fresh flavour of tension. In some ways, I admire what Ubisoft came up with.
#HYPERSPACE BATTLE ROYALE RELEASE DATE SERIES#
This turns matches’ final minutes into a series of high-octane chase scenes, a change of pace that keeps play aggressive until the very last second. There is now another upcoming Battle Royale which has been developed by Ubisoft, called Hyperscape. However, upon snagging the crown, their position is immediately revealed to other players. Battle Royales have been the most popular genre of video games for quite a while and it seems like their popularity won’t dwindle any time soon thanks for the most part to new BR games being released by gaming studios.
While last-person-standing rules still apply, the final segment of each match sees players vie for an item called the “crown.” If anyone can hold onto it for 45 seconds, they win the match.
This strategy works especially well if you’re able to pull it off during Hyper Scape‘s endgame, which is also unique. For example, max-level slam’s cooldown timer is short enough that you can basically cosplay as Winston from Overwatch, leaping around the map and blasting opponents with an energy cannon. Two weapons and two powers at a time might not seem like a lot, but they can coalesce into some pretty cool strategic options. The hacks add fun wrinkles to the proceedings, with some providing expected advantages (healing, armour, invisibility, etc.) while others give you a big mobility boost (teleport, ball, slam).
