Rumor: Ubisoft is working on a new battle royale. It will be similar to Hyper Scape, which the publisher is shutting down

The project is codenamed Pathfinder and will differ significantly from other games in the same genre

Apparently, Ubisoft has not abandoned its attempts to succeed with battle royales and is currently working on a new project codenamed Pathfinder.

This is a third-person shooter where teams of four players drop onto a map and must fight each other and AI-controlled enemies while trying to win — the closer to the center of the map, the tougher the silicon opposition.

The maps will also feature gates, some of which can be destroyed while others remain impenetrable, varying from match to match. The game will also feature heroes, each with their own unique abilities and skills.

Some found the news amusing, given that Ubisoft already has a battle royale titled Hyper Scape, which the publisher plans to shut down on April 28.
