As Playerunknown's Battlegroundscontinues its steady pace to the top of the video game popularity mountain,Western Archives other studios have done the inevitable and begun trying to take their own slice out of the wildly popular battle royale cake.
Tower defense/survival game Fornitewill be getting a new Battle Royalemode on all platforms later this month, developer Epic Games announced today.
It's incredibly similar to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds(PUBG).
Just likePUBG, players in Fornite Battle Royalewill parachute onto an island, forage for weapons and items, and try to out-survive 99 other players as the map gets smaller and smaller. The only major difference is that Fornite Battle Royaleplayers can break down buildings and other resources to build structures of their own.
A week before Fortnite Battle Royalewas announced, GTA Onlinereceived a new battle royale mode called Motor Wars. Earlier than that, iOS and Android developers were -- of course -- making knock-offs of PUBG.
It's clear that developers are looking to cash in on the PUBGcraze.
PUBGis by no means the first battle royale-style game -- Brendan Greene, the developer behind PUBG, consulted on the popular 2016 battle royale game H1Z1: King of the Kill, and previously developed the Battle Royalemods for Arma 2and Arma 3.
But since PUBG's arrival on Steam early access in March, the game quickly became the most popular title in the battle royale genre. The game's concurrent player count regularly surpasses every other game on Steam (it reached the 1 million player milestone this past weekend, a club consisting only of Dota 2and PUBG), it inches closer and closer to Dota 2's concurrent player record of 1.29 million, and is regularly the most-watched game on Twitch.
And it's not even technically out yet.
In the reveal of Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic Games' worldwide creative director Donald Mustard specifically referenced H1Z1and PUBG, showing how much influence the popularity of these games have in the world of game development.
We could be looking at an onslaught of battle royale games and modes coming out over the next couple years. Be ready.
