The battle royale genre is quite possibly one of the most competitive genres in gaming currently. A number of AAA developers and publishers have been trying to capture the market such as EA with Apex Legends, Activision with Call of Duty: Warzone and many such games.

Hyper Scape looks to innovate the genre by having a strong integration with Twitch, and include mechanics that will directly impact the game through streams.
