Which means the current Open Beta on PC will come to and end on August 3. And, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be able to jump into the Hyper Scape action on the 11th. For those playing the beta, cross-progression is included so any rewards or unlocks earned will carry over.

“While the game has already been accessible on PC since our first test phase, Season One is for us the true launch of Hyper Scape,” says Graeme Jennings, Senior Producer for Hyper Scape at Ubisoft Montréal. “We have leveraged our test periods to develop and release frequent updates, notably on the global balance. With those updates we are now ready to welcome console players into the mix, with lots of new content to enjoy.”

The launch also sees the start of Season 1.
