It’ll be interesting to see what fresh moves Ubisoft makes over the next couple of years. Guns like the Protocol V, Mammoth-MK1, and Skybreaker are seen as the best 'power weapons' currently in the game. These shutdowns are definitely notable moves from Ubisoft, and come at a time when the company is also investing heavily into its NFT and blockchain-powered marketplace. At the present time in Hyper Scapes life, a few guns have risen to the top of a lot of players lists. In the case of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft’s efforts were rewarded with a second resurgence of popularity as more players cottoned on to the increasing quality of the game. Ubisoft titles like For Honor, The Crew 2, and Rainbow Six Siege all released to average reception, but have all received years worth of content updates for their dedicated fanbases. Given that Ubisoft is known for providing a great deal of long-term support for its games, the closure of Hyper Scape’s servers is surprising, and suggests that the player population was particularly dire. The team behind Watch Dogs Legionalso announced they would cease creating new content for the game. Hyper Scape is not the only Ubisoft project to announce its closure this week. This includes the game’s executive producer Graeme Jennings, creative director JC Guyot, art director Mickael Labat, game director Thomas Simon, and technical director Thomas Félix. notes that many developers from the Hyper Scape development team all left Ubisoft last year to form their own studio, Monster Closet. ‘We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products,’ the announcement reads. It wasn’t particularly well-received at launch, and although Ubisoft announced they would start refining the game’s balance and mechanics, it seems the game hasn’t been able to capture enough of an audience to justify these changes. Hopefully, Ubisoft’s next battle royale Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline can learn from its predecessor’s mistakes.Frameborder='0' allow='accelerometer autoplay clipboard-write encrypted-media gyroscope picture-in-picture' allowfullscreen> Hyper Scape was an experimental project that showed a lot of promise, but its circumstances didn't work out. The arena shrinks over time, damaging anyone caught outside of the safe zone. One hundred players are dropped into an arena to collect weapons and fight to be the last player or team standing.

While Ubisoft Montreal is an accomplished studio with some of Ubisoft’s best games, its efforts are better spent working on a major upcoming project than a game that quickly dwindled in players and Twitch viewers. Hyper Scape is a new first-person shooter battle royale game set in a futuristic, virtual battlefield. The company has been forced to re-evaluate what its most important projects are going forward, and what staff it can spare to work on them. The final death knell sounded for Hyper Scape when Ubisoft began experiencing talent bleed in 2021. Rainbow Six Siege and For Honor have been kept alive, but that sort of push for Hyper Scape wasn't there. Post-launch support lasted until 2021 with three seasons, but Ubisoft barely marketed Hyper Scape during that time. While free-to-play models lower the barrier of entry, an absent price tag can backfire on an underperforming game. The game will be available less than two years total, a surprisingly low amount. After most of the industry forgot the game existed, Hyper Scape appeared in the news in January 2022 to announce its August 28 shutdown.
