Ubisoft Hyper Scape’s Battle Royale is now in open beta and there are some differences between this version of the game and the one we have to play during the technical test. Hyper Scape now has new content, new game modes, extended Twitch integration, and a battle pass.
Gameplay and new modes
Starting with the game differences, beta players have access to the Harpy SMG skill and the Shockwave skill. Some of the original instruments in the game have received slight balance tweaks , with the Salvo in particular getting dry again. This time the change is in the firing range of his projectile, which is now smaller.
Hyper Scape will have two main game modes during the open beta: Crown Rush Solo and Crown Rush Squads. Unlike the limited-time Dark Haze mode, Crown Rush Solo is just a regular match of Crown Rush, except with 100 players in the lobby, each defending themselves. During the open beta, players will also be able to play in two other LTMs: Hack Runner and Turbo Mode. Both modes are for teams only.
Battle pass and Crowncast
The Hyper Scape open beta has its own battle pass and, like the game itself, ties into the use of Twitch. The 30 levels of the pass contain numerous cosmetic items, some of which are exclusive to Twitch Prime. Not only that, but players who have linked their Ubisoft account to their Twitch account can actually level up through the battle pass by watching the streams.
As long as you are watching a streamer to play with Hyper Scape With the Crowncast extension, you can get up to two battle levels per day without even playing. The limit is there for a reason, as Ubisoft says it would prefer that “playing remains the best way to level up”. On that note, Crowncast also allows streamers to invite their viewers to their teams so they can get in on the action.
How to participate in the Hyper Scape open beta
For now, only PC players can access the beta. If you play on PC, you can join Ubisoft official Hyper Scape beta page . The open beta period began on July 12, and an end date has not been set at the moment. All cosmetic items and in-game progression earned during the open beta will enter the official version of the game.
