Ubisoft has announced it’s closing down its battle royale game Hyper Scape, less than 2 years after it launched.

Developed by Ubisoft Montréal, Hyper Scape is a free-to-play, 100-player battle royale FPS set in a futuristic urban environment called Neo-Arcadia.

The game launched in open beta form in July 2020. However, just a year after its release Ubisoft had stopped releasing major updates for the game.

Its last season launched in March 2021. By Ubisoft’s E3 live stream in June, Hyper Scape wasn’t mentioned at all.

In an update published on Thursday, Ubisoft confirmed the battle royale will close for good in April.

“We have made the difficult decision to end development of Hyper Scape and shut the game down as of April 28th,” Ubisoft said.

“We set out to create a vertical, close-quarters, and fast-paced shooter experience and we are extremely grateful to our community for joining us on our journey. We will be taking key learnings from this game into future products.

“To the Hyper Scape community, thank you for your passion and dedication to the world of Neo Arcadia both inside and outside of the game. Your devotion to the game we built will always be cherished.”
