According to prolific leaker Tom Henderson, Ubisoft is working on a new project codenamed Pathfinder, which will have a similar visual style as Hyper Scape (whether it’s being developed by the Hyper Scape team at Ubisoft Montreal is unknown). Apparently, the game is a PvPvE concept, with players fighting AI and other humans to get to the center of the map where a large boss fight will be waiting. The unique twist is that the map will be divided up by an outer and inner wall, and the places you can breach those walls will change from game to game, forcing you to find a new path each time....

Since Wi-Fi 6E operates on a different channel, there will be less interference when connected to networks that also support the Wi-Fi 6E standard, improving the reliability of the connection....
