When will the end of Hyper Scape come?
The game's death won't be instantaneous.Hyper Scape's servers will remain active until April 28, 2022. So if you feel like checking out this title, you have three months left to do so.
Hyper Scape didn't even last two years on the market
Life of Hyper Scape was short. The open beta launched in July 2020, and the full version debuted a month later. Thus game's story will come to an end after a mere 21 months. Ubisoft was undoubtedly hoping for more.
Ubisoft is not giving up on the battle royale genre
When announcing its intention to shut down the servers of Hyper Scape, Ubisoft said that the lessons learned from the game will be used to improve upcoming games.
