Battle Royale’s Struggle In Esports

Battle Royale has taken the world by storm due to the nature of being the most consistently fun and challenging game modes to play. It has attracted hundreds of thousands, more than likely millions, of gamers away from other modes. The reason for its popularity is obvious. Battle royale forces players to be tactically smart, resourceful, and have just the right amount of luck to win. It’s extremely fun to play with the added effect that it IS challenging. When a player wins they feel that satisfaction that they effectively out thought or outplayed the other team. It offers that rewarding feeling one can only gain by conquering overwhelming odds.

One of the problems Battle Royale faces as an Esport is less it’s popularity and fun and more the sheer logistics of it. The maps are huge, and the required number of players is also huge, the games are rather long and less action-packed than your usual team deathmatch shooters. Of course, these are not insurmountable circumstances. They can reduce the map sizes, create games that require fewer players. How a developer can do this and still maintain a balance I’m not completely sure but there it is a possibility at least.

The popularity of Esports continues to rise along with the popularity of Battle Royale expect to see attempts at bringing it into the Esport industry.  This adds a bit of a conundrum because only PUBG has really delved into the arena that is Esports. It seems obvious that other developers would at least attempt to bring their games into the esports arena but no one else has stepped up to do it.

Esports fandom is steadily growing as video games continue to rise in popularity. Compared to eight years ago (When finding a stream for the MLG Halo tournaments was near impossible) Esports has grown massively. Video games aren’t just for nerds now. An entire generation has grown up with advanced digital technology in every area of their lives much. Gaming is one area that has consistently grown with technology. Video games have the advantage of attracting individuals at a young age and keeping them interested for life. Battle Royale will likely see a more competitive version of itself step onto the platform that is Esports. What this iteration will look like, no one can tell yet. As with Esports when it was in its first stages we will just have to see what it becomes.

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.

The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.

The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.

We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.

PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?

Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
