Hyper Universe is heating up this week with new a new Hyper, mode and an event! Whether you jump into battle with Signal, try your hand at capturing points in the new map Fortress of the Guardians or you’re just trying to unlock that Recolor Skin you’ve always wanted there’s something for you! All of this is coming at you this week with our new 3.2 update.

We are happy to announce that we are expanding our regions available to players! Starting with this patch you will now be able to download and play Hyper universe from the South East Asia region as well as Japan! We look forward to seeing lots of new faces in-game soon.

We’re providing a sneak preview to a new and unpolished event map called Fortress of the Guardians.It is a 4v4 scramble to capture the points on the map in order to achieve victory. Unlike our previous maps that have lanes that you need to push, Fortress of the Guardians focuses on bloody team fights as each team tries to secure their points.



Who’s everyone’s favorite Space Bounty Hunter? Signal, that’s who. This week Signal teleports into the fray to help you on your quest. With Signal’s high burst damage and ability to hunt down the weakest of the pack he is sure to make a huge splash in patch v3.2. How will you change the way you think about team fights?


Don’t feel like you’re earning enough cubes with daily rewards? Fear not my friends as we are increasing the Cubes you can earn for a limited time. Whether you are playing during the week or the weekend there will be something for you to do. On weekdays, you can now earn up to 2x the amount of cubes (6 per day) and on weekends, you can look forward to being able to earn up to 10 cubes a day!

Hello Hypers!

We are happy to announce that we will be expanding our support to South East Asia and Japan. We hope to bring you a new Asia battle server soon.

Since day 1 of Early Access you asked if we are planning to expand our service to regions that weren’t initially supported. We were contractually bound to the original service regions at the time, but we have been working towards a global service. We hope you see through our unlocking of SEA and Japan region that we are fully committed to bringing Hyper Universe to everyone who wants to play.

While we might need time to review, discuss, reply, and act upon your feedback, know that your feedback is very important to us.

Thank you for your continued support.

We sincerely apologize for disrupting your gameplay and promise we are addressing this as we speak.

Please bear with us a bit and we will update you on the progress soon.

Thank you.

  Patch version: 3.1.00004
  
  
  
  

Welcome Arslan, the newest melee Bruiser to join Hyper Universe. Arslan is a fierce Lion warrior that has a strong mix of mobility and disruptive skills. He can launch ambushes or retreat from bad situations in a moment’s notice, all the while growing stronger as his health is reduced.

With the latest patch, Arslan, his recolor skin, and unique equipment will be introduced to the game.



Tenderizer
Arslan’s “A“ ability is Tenderizer. Arslan will strike, then bite the enemy, dealing damage while lowering their defense and bolstering his.


Pounce
His “Q“ skill is Pounce. Arslan will leap high in the air, dealing damage and knocking down any enemy Hypers that he hits on landing.


Battle Roar
Arslan’s “W“ let’s out a mighty Battle Roar that will inflict damage to enemy Hypers around him while reducing their speed and attack damage. The lower the enemy’s health, the greater effect.


Whirling Blades
Pressing “E” will activate Arslan’s Whirling Blades, sending him into a quick spiral that will deal damage to nearby Hypers and give himself a speed boost while allowing him to ignore movement restricting effects.


Primal Fury
Finally, Arslan’s ultimate skill is Primal Fury. Primal Fury will make Arslan charge forward, wildly swinging his weapons dealing damage while causing a short stun. Each hit will knockback enemy Hypers that are caught in the charge.


Arslan specializes in ambushing and catching enemies off guard. His Pounce has a long range, allowing him to set up fights for his team, and pick off wandering Hypers easily. Pounce combined with his ultimate, Primal Fury, can potentially push an entire enemy team out of position and exactly to where you want them. If the enemy tries to scatter or run away, you can use Battle Roar to slow them down, and Whirling Blades to chase them.

Demonic Spellbook, Dragonscale Breastplate, Frostedge, Eternal Ice Crystal, Exo-Frame, Devil’s Jack

Since Arslan dives into the enemy’s backline, a more defensive build may benefit you. Items like Frostedge, Demonic Spellbook, and Exo-Frame can come together to make Arslan a Hyper who is hard to stand toe to toe with. These items really focus on Arslan’s health and defense. The build order of these items should be from left to right, fully building one item before moving to the next. However, this build can be a little tricky for newer players as it relies on Arslan not dying to maximize the potential of the Demonic Spellbook’s stacking power. Not sure what to build? As always, you can hop into our Discord to discuss itemization with other players.

You can hop into the battlefield with Arslan tomorrow for a mere 15,000GP, which you can earn by leveling up and playing games.

May your blades stay sharpened, and good luck out there. Remember: Only the strong survive!

~Hyper Universe Team

Today we are bringing you intel about a new battlefield that you can warp to starting with tomorrow's update on September 7th! This new map, Dragon Refuge, is rich in fantasy-themed content with seven lanes to explore. Unlike Delta Station, which has two siege lanes, Dragon Refuge has a single siege lane with six layers of jungle to explore, making Dragon Refuge a hunting ground of resources to collect and dominate.

Each layer of Dragon Refuge’s hunting grounds brings a plethora of new mobs to fight, from magic wielding goblins to knife wielding tortoises, you will find different foes lurking about. With things such as centrally located camps with big benefits, controlling the jungle will be a huge factor in claiming victory over your opponents.

Dragon’s Refuge has two new unique bosses to conquer; the Executioner who hides beneath, and the almighty Dragon that slumbers at the peak. The Executioner will drop a chest of gold upon his death, as well as his mace that will grant you extra strength in battle.

If you manage to defeat the ancient Dragon, his hoarded gold will be distributed among your allies, along with a most valuable core that will spawn Siege Tanks for your team, and the Dragon’s Heart buff which will grant the Hyper who picks it up additional benefits that branch out to nearby allied Hypers.

These treasures will be hotly contested by both sides looking to gain the advantage.

Stick together, control the jungle, and fight your way past the enemy’s defenses to ultimately take control of Dragon Refuge. Good luck in your adventures, Hypers!
