4v4 F2P Side Scrolling Moba Hyper Universe Launches

Nexon's 4v4 side scrolling action MOBA Hyper Universe officially launched into open beta today and is available to everyone for free. The free to play launch has already given the game an enormous boost with the game's concurrent playerbase jumping from a meager 20 players online to over 1,600. This shouldn't be too surprising though, as prior to today the game was buy to play.

The official launch of Hyper Universe comes with a bunch of new changes, the most important of which are:

Six New Hypers: Introducing one new Hyper per class, the game is refreshing its
character pool with Gulunba (Tank), Camilla (Support), Perseus (Specialist), Han
(Striker), Sonya (Bruiser) and Tae’guk (Assassin);

Achievement System: Players can participate in weekly and monthly missions to earn
rewards including Hyper Cubes and Game Points (GP). Mission requirements range
from winning matches to ranking first in various individual match performance stats, and
some missions can be repeated multiple times after scheduled refreshes;

Game Shop: Housing Hypers, item slots, and cosmetic skins, the shop allows players to
customize their experience in the Universe by spending GP or NX credit purchased
through the player’s account;

New Equipment: Available to use with any Hyper, four new pieces of common
equipment are now available, including the War Horn, Star Stalker’s Dagger,
Executioner’s Scythe and Highwayman’s Helm;

Login Rewards: Up to a week after launch, players who log into Hyper Universe and
compete in one regular or AI match receive 30 Hyper cubes, 6 Hyper Coupons and 1
Hyper Skin Coupon.

Time will tell whether Hyper Universe can carve out a niche or not within the hyper competitive MOBA market.
