The devs busily working on Hyper Scape have announced its release date for PS4 and Xbox One.
The news was shared via a new trailer today and reveals that Hyper Scape will be available to play on consoles on August 11, 2020.
Next month will also see the launch of Hyper Scape Season 1, an event that will include a new Battle Pass with both free and premium tiers.
The game is currently only available to play on PC via the Uplay open beta, which is scheduled to end on August 2.
The good news is that gamers will be able to switch over to consoles from the PC open beta through cross-progression support.
Gamers will also be able to unlock new rewards through Twitch as well, with plenty of support being planned for after Season 1 is launched.
A message from Ubisoft explains: “The game’s PC Open Beta runs until August 2, and thanks to cross-progression, any items you’ve unlocked – either through the in-game shop or the current 30-tier Battle Pass – will carry over to the console version when the game officially launches.
“Thanks to the Crowncast Twitch extension, you can progress your Battle Pass by watching Twitch streams even if you haven’t played the game on PC, and you will get any rewards you’ve earned when you sign in to Hyper Scape on console for the first time.
“Crowncast itself will see the addition of a new feature in Season 1: The Kudos feature will now allow viewers to react to exciting (POG) moments in chat by using Bits to generate a visual effect that appears in a streamer’s game.
“As the Open Beta period comes to an end, the development team wishes to thank players (even those who technically haven’t played yet) with the opportunity to earn 600 Bitcrowns, Hyper Scape’s premium in-game currency.
“All you have to do between now and the end of the Open Beta on August 2 is play the game or watch a Crowncast-enabled Twitch stream for just one hour.
“Hyper Scape is launching free-to-play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 11. Be sure to check out the finals of the Creators Cup on August 14 to watch the best of the best compete for their share of a $50,000 prize pool, and visit our Hyper Scape news hub to stay up to date.”
While there is plenty to look forward to when Hyper Scape launches on PS4 and Xbox One next month, there has been no word on if Crossplay will be available.
The development team could share more on this subject in the coming weeks, or after Season 1 launches in August.
More details on the coming launch can be found below, courtesy of Ubisoft: “Hyper Scape, the free-to-play, frenetic battle royale, is coming to PS4 and Xbox One starting August 11.
“Season 1, titled “The First Principle,” will introduce new limited-time game modes, a new weapon and hack, new features for Crowncast (Hyper Scape’s interactive Twitch extension), and provide insight into the lore and universe of Hyper Scape.
“Season 1 adds a new gun, the Dragonfly, and new hack, Magnet, for a total of 11 weapons and 11 hacks, each of which can be fused up to four times into increasingly powerful versions.
“The First Principle will also introduce new limited-time game modes, a new in-game Melee event (which makes all melee attacks instantly lethal), and both a free and premium 100-tier Battle Pass.”
