NETMARBLE'S NEW BATTLE ROYALE TPS GAME, HYPESQUAD, BEGINS NA SERVER FOCUS TEST TODAY
Friday, May 19, 2023
LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality gaming experiences, opens a new NA Server Focus Test for its Battle Royale TPS game HypeSquad. Starting today at 7 P.M PDT through May 29, players can participate in this test by downloading the demo on Steam.
The NA Server Focus Test is currently the longest test period being offered for the game to date, implementing new changes based on player feedback. Rewards such as character skins, weapon skins, and emotes earned at the Battle Pass Beta can be used following the game's grand launch. Test participants will be able to experience the following game content and improvements:
-- New Mode: A new Competitive Mode will be available that will measure a
player's skill. Available tiers include Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold,
and Platinum. Different rewards will be provided for each tier so
players can continuously try out for higher grades.
-- Battle Pass System (Battle Pass Beta): Pass Points can be obtained
through playing a match and completing battle pass missions. Players can
obtain Battle Pass Rewards, including emote and skins for weapons and
characters based on the accumulated Pass Points.
-- Growth System Changes: To allow players to fully enjoy the experience of
close-ranged combat during the gameplay, the Augmenter, Vending Machine,
and Hype Point Systems will be removed, while a new Level-up System will
be added. Players can level up by acquiring experience items found
through defeating other players or the newly added PVE elements, the
Patrol Robot and Vainin. All players will start the game at level 1 and
can reach up to level 12. Each time a player levels up, they can choose
1 Talent among Attack, Defense, and Utility and form unique strategies.
-- Combat System Change: The number of weapons that can be equipped will be
changed to one so players can focus on one weapon to use rather than
continuously choosing other artillery.
-- Weapon Skills and Passives Rework: Several weapon skills and passives
will be changed to improve each weapon's unique usability and
characteristics. For example, various effects will be added to the skill
sets of Link Cleaver to allow players to confuse enemies and engage in a
more dynamic combat environment.
-- Rule Changes: Extra time will be added after the final round in Survival
Mode. Unlike the previous rounds, the safe zone will not shrink during
the extra time. Instead of holding out in the safe zone or being forced
to fight due to the gray field, the extra time will allow players to
determine the battle's outcome through combat. Farming-type bots Vainin
and Patrol Robot, which enable players to carry out alternative
strategies by dropping experience items and other combat-assist items,
will be added.
In addition, players can participate in HypeSquad's AI Fan Art event until June 5 by accessing the newly added AI Beta Service, where players can create their very own images of characters. Popular keywords used by players will be utilized to design new skins in the future. Players can participate in the AI Fan Art event on the official HypeSquad Discord channel.
Players can watch new trailer and demonstration clip for the test in the official HypeSquad YouTube channel.
HypeSquad is a fast-paced game where players join a squad battle, teaming up to survive in intense close-quarters combat. Featuring a variety of weapons and options, players can creatively personalize their combat style in order to lead their squad to victory. The game features a diverse cast of characters, each with different backgrounds and motivations, and an assortment of unique melee and ranged options. Lastly, HypeSquad's interactive objects, like zip lines and jump pads among other objects, add a layer of strategy for players to consider as they strive to be victorious on the battlefield.
More information can be found on the game's official website, Discord, YouTube, Facebook and Reddit channels.
