Fan Project Revives Ubisoft's Hyper Scape Offline, Multiplayer Still Distant

After Ubisoft ended online services in 2022, a fan-run build now exists offline under uncertain legal footing.

Overview

  • On February 16, X user Fiirce shared footage of Hyper Scape running offline with bots on a private server.
  • The effort is described as an early alpha with limited private access, primarily seeking contributors with reverse‑engineering experience.
  • Multiplayer features do not work yet, and Fiirce cautions restoration could take months or even years.
  • Ubisoft has not commented on the revival, leaving open the possibility of a takedown common to unsanctioned fan servers.
  • Interest has grown on social media, reflecting nostalgia for the game's praised movement systems after its shutdown in April 2022.
