Check out how we test and review games here Digital Cybercherries’ Hypercharge Unboxed is coming to PlayStation 4 and 5, marking the last stop in the game’s long journey to come to all available platforms. While the game’s journey still has a while until its all wrapped up, the small team is already looking at a potential sequel. In an interview with VideoGamer, game designer Joe Henson explained that a Hypecharge Unboxed 2 is certainly on the cards for the team, as well as a VR version of the original. After a decade of working on the current game, the team is filled with ideas for a sequel as soon as they’re freed from the admittedly rusted framework of the original. Hypercharge Unboxed 2 will be a massive step up Henson explained that the small team of five developers “get to start from scratch now on the next game” when they move to their inevitable sequel. The game designer explained that the team is “held back technically” with the current game, limiting what can and can’t be added to the title. “The next Hypercharge will be the ultimate childhood dream action figure game, because it’ll have all the features we originally wanted but couldn’t have,” Henson explained. “And it’s going to be some pretty cool features.” Henson also teased that the sequel will be in a different genre to the original which is a light tower defence title with wave-based combat. While the game designer didn’t reveal what genre the eventual sequel will be, they did tease that it will be a “really fun genre” that’s “super exciting” for fans. At the time of writing, the team hasn’t yet decided on what engine will power the next entry in the series. However, considering the team’s experience with Unreal Engine 4 for the original game, upgrading to Unreal Engine 5 is the obvious step forward. “I think likely we may go to Unreal Engine 5,” Henson explained. “We’ll have to dive a bit deeper into it and see what makes the most sense, but Unreal 5 is definitely a possibility. And it’s exciting as well, you know, to get into a new engine.” By moving to Unreal Engine 5, Digital Cybercherries will have access to new technology that will make their already-great-looking toybox shooter look even better such as Lumen lighting, Nanite and other goodies. The future of Hypercharge Unboxed is bright, especially as the game’s long-awaited PlayStation port comes to fruition. After ten years of work, there’s still more to be done, but we’re incredibly excited to see what comes of the game’s inevitable follow-up.
