Ubisoft Montreal will reportedly launch a futuristic battle royale FPS called Hyper Scape in July

Ubisoft Montreal is reportedly developing a fast-paced AAA battle royale FPS called Hyper Scape.

Citing unnamed sources, esports consultant Rod Breslau said Ubisoft will begin teasing the game, codenamed ‘Prisma Dimensions’, later today ahead of the launch of a closed beta next week.

Set in a futuristic virtual world, the cross-play title will reportedly be released for PC on July 12 ahead of its console launch later this year.

Update: A teaser website for the project is now live ahead of a reveal scheduled for this Thursday, July 2, while various content creators have begun posting about having played the game at a preview event.

Original story continues: French publisher Ubisoft has confirmed plans to host an “E3-style” digital games showcase on July 12, the same date Hyper Scape is said to enter open beta.

With more than 3,000 employees, Ubisoft Montreal bills itself as the largest game development studio in the world. It’s the primary developer of the Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six and Watch Dogs series, among others.

Ubisoft’s July event, Ubisoft Forward, will be the company’s first fully digital conference and promises to include exclusive game news and product reveals.

Games set for release during Ubisoft’s current fiscal year ending in March 2021 include this holiday’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, plus the previously delayed Watch Dogs Legion, Gods and Monsters and Rainbow Six Quarantine, which will all be available on current and next-gen consoles.
