Slasher, TwitterIt appears that Ubisoft are on the cusp of revealing a brand new AAA first-person shooter battle royale, according to Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau.
The game developers have masterminded the success of some of the biggest franchises in recent times, including the Tom Clancy series, Assassin’s Creed, and many others.
However, it appears something completely news is the next thing on the menu for players, and it’s going to be called Hyper Scape according to reports.
UbisoftEsports journalist Slasher posted details about the next addition to the world of battle royale on June 29, tweeting details from his account. In the days previous, he had been heralded as the key source of information for all things Dr Disrespect, following the Twitch star’s mysterious ban on the streaming platform.
This time, though, a fresh game is on the agenda.
He tweeted: “Today Ubisoft will tease a new game code-named “Prisma Dimensions”, which is actually a new AAA multiplayer fast-paced FPS Battle Royale from Ubisoft Montreal (R6, AC) named Hyper Scape.”
