The Hyper Scape Winter Festival Event trailer’s content is mostly filled with animations of the game characters engaging in some Christmas-related activity to classical music from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’sThe Nutcracker. Characters are skating, jumping, and dancing in cheer, with a quick shot of one sipping hot cocoa on a snow-covered balcony.
There’s even a character snowboarding and another jumping for joy before they get to the real action. Once the trailer reaches the halfway point it starts to show battles with all the chaos ofHyper Scape’sfast-paced gameplayon display. It starts with the robot nutcracker emerging from a snowmobile at high speeds before pandemonium is unleashed. Characters are shooting at each other with high-tech mini-guns, grenade launchers, rifles, and more.
However, the action is quick before the trailer ends on the Christmas event release date: December 15 to December 29. The trailer mostly shows off winter and Christmas-themed skins for theHyper Scapecharacters, and a new entry vehicle for players. Players can look the part for the event in the futuristic battle royale. This new trailer comes hot off the heels of Ubisoft’s latest update, which addedcrossplay inHyper Scapelast week.
