Ubisoft appears to be gearing up for a major return to the battle royale arena with a new project that’s reportedly heavily inspired by Apex Legends. According to early sources, Project Scout is Ubisoft’s ambitious attempt to craft a hero-based battle royale shooter, featuring a playable roster of characters with distinct abilities—much like Apex Legends. One source reportedly told Insider Gaming that Ubisoft sees this as an opportunity to “capitalize” on that dip and believes there’s room in the market for another big-name title to thrive in the battle royale genre. This won’t be Ubisoft’s first dive into battle royale territory. Back in 2020, the company launched Hyper Scape, a fast-paced sci-fi battle royale with vertical movement and urban combat. As always, the battle royale space thrives on innovation, fun gameplay loops, and a strong community. In a surprising turn of events, Rebellion Developments has reportedly canceled Project Archipelago, a Sniper Elite battle royale spin-off game that was first announced just four months ago. Initially pitched as an exciting multiplayer experience, Project Archipelago (also known as Sniper Island) aimed to bring the tactical gameplay of the beloved Sniper Elite series into a new format, with teams of players competing in a fast-paced battle royale.
