Inspired by the likes of Toy Story and Small Soldiers, HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed is an upcoming third person Xbox shooter that will place you in the boots of a proper action hero. And it’s coming to Xbox later in May.
Set for release come May 31st 2024, HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed from Digital Cybercherries (cracking name, guys!) tells of a world full of sentient action figures. It’s here where you and your friends will go on the rampage, completing objectives, ticking off tasks, all in hope of defending the Hypercore.
An all-action shooter
Ready to be playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, if you’re a fan of the all-out action world, or know of someone who is, then HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed should well be considered. It’ll come complete with a campaign full of narrative, with solo offline, 4-player online and split-screen (local and online) options in place. Better still, as HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed releases at the end of May, it’ll come with cross-platform support with PC.
A full range of PvP modes will be in place too, ensuring a proper old rumble can take place. Will it be enough to earn HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed a place among the best new Xbox and Game Pass games for May 2024? We have high hopes.
“Hypercharge: Unboxed is the perfect marriage of nostalgic charm and contemporary shooter design,” said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. “It’s a love letter to our childhood, where we enjoyed smashing action figures together and creating epic battles in our head – only now we can realize that vision in a fully interactive 3D world. Whether you’re playing solo or want to connect with friends, Hypercharge: Unboxed provides the perfect jolt of 90s energy!”
