Press release:
Manchester, UK – May 1st, 2024.
The Manchester-based (the UK) indie games developer Digital Cybercherries are today very happy and proud to announce that their toy soldiers shooter “HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed“, is coming to Xbox on May 31st, 2024 (the game is available for pre-order as of right now!).

Inspired by films like Toy Story and Small Soldiers, Hypercharge: Unboxed is the first and third-person shooter action figure game you’ve always dreamed of! Grab your friends, complete objectives, defend the Hypercore against waves of weaponized toys and defeat Major Evil together in the story campaign. Hypercharge welcomes both parents and children into a vibrant world of action figures and toys.

It’s a way for adults to remember the fun of their own childhoods and make new, happy memories with their children.
Hypercharge: Unboxed features a full story campaign mode, which can be played solo offline or with up to 4-players online in co-op. The game also supports split-screen play, both locally and online. This Xbox release will feature cross-platform support for the PC version, so you can play with your friends however you’d like. There are even bots available if you’d prefer to play with AI teammates or opponents.

If you’re feeling more competitive than collaborative, Hypercharge: Unboxed has got you covered too, as it features an array of PvP modes for brief bouts of action figure mayhem! Defend the Hypercore with your friends, survive waves of relentless hordes of weaponised toys, or enjoy a good old-fashioned free-for-all rumble!

“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!”
