The developers of Jetpack Hyperleague are also working on enhancing the game’s music. They are adding more music tracks to further enhance the gaming experience. By incorporating new music into the game, players will have a more immersive and engaging audio environment. As part of the ongoing updates to Jetpack Hyperleague, the developers are implementing separate settings for music and sound. This means that players will have the ability to customize their audio experience by enabling or disabling the music and sound effects independently. By providing these separate settings, players can have more control over their in-game audio preferences and tailor the game’s sound elements to their liking.
Team is also putting together patch notes that will allow users to preview and understand the upcoming changes and additions to the game. Patch notes provide a detailed summary of the modifications, improvements, and new features that will be implemented in the new version. By making these patch notes available, players will have the opportunity to review and anticipate what to expect in the upcoming release “Version 1.1”.
Additionally, tournament modes will be introduced in version 2. This means that players will have the opportunity to participate in competitive gameplay and engage in structured tournaments within the game. Tournament modes often involve organized matches, leaderboards, and rewards for top-performing players. This addition aims to enhance the competitive aspect of Jetpack Hyperleague and offer players a more engaging and challenging experience.
The estimated release timeframe for version 2, including the mobile app releases and tournament modes, is expected to be around mid-July. However, please note that release dates and features are subject to change based on the development progress and other factors.
