Please note: The story campaign will not be a standalone mode. It will be implemented into the waves-based mode.

Since we fully launched Hypercharge back in 2020, we've constantly received requests from players asking for some sort of story to be added into the game. A vast amount of you have fallen in love with the premise of the game, eagerly wanting to know more about Max Ammo and why he wants you to defend the HYPER-CORE. Well, we’re proud to announce that we’re developing a campaign that will be incorporated into the current PvE mode, and players will finally understand the lore and world of Hypercharge, as well as the history of Sgt. Max Ammo.

What can we expect?
Following a linear story through a ‘90s inspired visual comic, players must complete each mission of Sgt. Max Ammo, complete new objectives, fight new bosses and go head to head against your nemesis at the end of the game. That is, if you make it that far!

• Explore the history and lore of Hypercharge through a ‘90s inspired visual comic.
• Learn more about Max Ammo’s past and find out what, or who… is trying to destroy the HYPER-CORE.
• Complete ‘90s inspired objectives that focus on platforming and secret hunting. Who knows what you’ll unlock!
• Defeat bosses that are out of this world (literally) and be careful not to wander too far outside the garden

What this means gameplay wise is that each environment will feel more alive and interactable via the objectives you can choose to complete. Each level will make sense in terms of story/narrative. You will finally feel you are working towards something and even get to fight new and improved bosses along the way. And of course, with this major update, there will be additional improvements, fixes and changes based on player feedback. Overall, this update will tie the whole game together and give it a fresh feel.

Cool, what's the release date?
No ETA just yet, but we're working very hard to bring it to you!

Is it free?
Of course it will be. And it'll also be our sixth free content major update!

What about Switch?
Don't worry, we plan to keep the Nintendo Switch version just as up-to-date.

Finally, we would like to say thank you to our amazing fans who have supported us throughout the years. We are very lucky to have you! Initially, we never planned to implement any story into Hypercharge because of how big of a task it is, but we feel we owe it to you, the fans, to show our appreciation. So this next update is for you!

Right, that's it for now. I hope you have a lovely weekend! - Joe
