Battle royale genre games undoubtedly dominated the industry in the last half of the decade. PUBG emerged as one of the pioneers of the genre and was originally a mod for DayZ .
The name of the genre, invented by the makers of PUBG , was inspired by the iconic Japanese movie of the same name. The concept is pretty simple: lots of players land on a single map and the playing field decreases over time.
The game's concept is relatively easy to understand and adopt, and has been featured in a few games trying to adapt to the battle royale genre.
Ring of Elysium , along with its Tencent counterpart PUBG, has found a new audience on the PC platform.
The games share many similarities apart from a few tweaks to gameplay. However, if players are very into the PUBG experience, perhaps trying Ring of Elysium could be a much more comfortable transition than other games.
Apex Legends is a battle royale first-person shooter set in the Titanfall universe with a greater focus on speed, mobility and special abilities . There are multiple 'Legends' or unique characters to choose from, each with their own special abilities. The game encourages team play rather than any outgoing player, it's hard to do well in an Apex Legends match when playing Solo.
Hyper Scape is a battle royale game developed by Ubisoft , and the game's exciting art style is one of the first things that catches the player's attention. The game focuses on speed and mobility rather than hiding behind cover, like Apex Legends. The game is best when the player plays aggressively and looks for a fight. It plays more like an arena shooter than the standard battle royale event. Players can use various hacks (special abilities) to give them an edge in a conflict. The game will be released in full soon and the open beta is live for PC players.
Call of Duty 's free-to-play battle royale product; Warzone is an extremely well made game. Activision has consistently been rewarded for playing the game as often as its players do, so it has become a popular game among players.
The current undisputed king of the battle royale genre, no game seems to be about to knock Fornite from its perch. While many games temporarily removed Fortnite as the most popular game , none of them lasted as long as Fortnite . The accessible nature of the game makes it extremely attractive to a large fan base and as such, it maintains its position at the top of the battle royale games market.
