Tencent’s choices are nothing short of odd considering their outlook on the gaming industry. For one, they want to make Snapchat a gaming platform and for another, they want to jump into the Battle Royale bandwagon. As such, Tencent Games, the subsidiary of the telecommunications giant, has shown their entry into the genre, Europa.

In addition to pushing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in China and releasing a mobile game. Tencent also intends to compete with Bluehole Studio and Epic Games with this game on the PC as well. The game will be using Tencent’s Quicksilver X engine developed for high end PC’s and has a Steam Store page.

Now, we have a trailer that will show the game’s capabilities on PC. Night vision goggles, gliders, armored cars, and similar seem to be the focus of the trailer. We also look at elements such as destructible environments, cover spots, and some interactive set pieces.

Currently, a look at Europa’s Steam page suggests the game is being developed with a Chinese market in mind, as descriptions for the game are all in Chinese and other languages are apparently not supported. In other words, we probably won’t see a worldwide release of the game, at the very least for now.

A translation of the game’s description says that Europa is “a web-based multiplayer shooting game using cutting-edge virtual reality technology. The first stage of the game modeled a huge, isolated island, capable of hosting nearly 100 players.”

Once again, this was made clear by our favorite analyst from Nyko partners, Daniel Ahmad. Who posted a tweet talking about the upcoming Battle Royale developed by Tencent:

In addition to publishing PUBG in China + releasing two battle royale mobile games.

Tencent will publish 'Europa', a free to play battle royale style game that is being developed on Tencent's Quicksilver X engine for high end PC.

More info soon. https://t.co/RbgGwcTQSm pic.twitter.com/UQf5i7M2Xd

The game is set to release around 2018, but according to PCGamesN, there has been public testing in the works already. Any such tests may be China-only for the foreseeable future, however, it’s not strange to think that we’ll probably see an attempt to have this game internationally.
