But before that, let's revisit the numerous updates, changes, and improvements Hypercharge has seen. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey, and we couldn't have done it without you! [url=https://discord.com/invite/hyperchargeunboxed][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29250844/172557be47b18302d9163529032be649d2c8f8d6.png[/img][/url] [h3][b]The Beginning [i](2015)[/i][/b][/h3] Hypercharge was born from a spark of imagination — the vision of a small, passionate 5-person indie team. We envisioned a game where players could step back into their childhood, taking on the roles of action figures. Although initially designed as a PvP-only shooter, we recognized the true joy in shared adventures. This realization shaped Hypercharge into a cooperative game brimming with nostalgia. [h3][b]The Early Days [i](2017)[/i][/b][/h3] In 2017, we launched Hypercharge in early access. Regrettably, we timed our release to coincide with Steam's summer sale, which was a rookie mistake on our part. In its initial form, Hypercharge didn't quite click with many players. However, those few who did discover it saw the untapped potential and believed in what it could become. Facing these challenges head-on, the team saw some departures, leaving only the original members/close friends. To dive deeper into this chapter, read [url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/hypercharge-unboxed/hypercharge-unboxed-unreal-engine-4]here[/url]. [h3][b]Belief & Reinvention [i](2019)[/i][/b][/h3] Instead of giving up, we doubled our efforts. We reinvested our personal savings and, most importantly, our beliefs. Engaging closely with our community, we revamped the game and re-introduced it as "Early Access 2.0" in 2019. This wasn't just an update – it was almost a rebirth of Hypercharge. Our journey through these times is an [url=https://invisioncommunity.co.uk/hypercharge-unboxed-reaches-2-0-stage-against-all-odds/]inspiring tale[/url]. [h3][b]The Great Polish [i](2020)[/i][/b][/h3] We listened, refined, and polished. By 2020, we were ready to share the game in its full glory, no longer hidden under the "early access" banner. [h3][b]Ongoing Dedication [i](2020-Now)[/i][/b][/h3] Since then, Hypercharge has thrived. It's grown with 12 major content updates – all built on your feedback, all free! These weren't minor tweaks; we're discussing significant additions like a fully working third-person camera mode, player bots, and a full-blown story campaign! We can't help but beam with pride looking at Hypercharge's journey. Every piece of feedback you've provided has directly influenced the game's evolution, making it better with each step. With exciting new content on the horizon in the upcoming Major Update 13 ([i]think new skins, weapons, bosses, UI enhancements, buildable improvements, and more[/i]!), we've decided to adjust Hypercharge's price from $19.99 to $24.99. This is not just a price increase; it's a testament to the value, content, and tireless effort we've put into the game and will continue to invest. [b]Wait a minute![/b] Before the price increases, we're offering a 20% discount until Monday, 25th September. If you've considered getting Hypercharge, this is your chance.
