The 5 Best Multiplayer Games of 2017

San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into t

We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required. We don't want to tell you too much as you will soon be able to experience it all yourself but we did write a few short descriptions of several of the key landmarks and towns. You can find them below, together with the new screensh

Fortnite is something of a unique presence on this list in the sense that it was never really supposed to take the form it has now become known for. The original intent behind the game was to create a co-op sandbox survival experience, and while that form of the SLG Game resource management has still found success, it is the existence of Fortnite Battle Royale that sees the game included as a multiplayer standout from 2

As his consultancy role with Daybreak Game Company was coming to a close in 2015, Greene was approached by Chang-han Kim of Bluehole. Kim offered Greene the opportunity to develop a new battle royale-style game. After meeting with Kim at the studio’s South Korean headquarters, Greene was brought on as a creative director.

Chumacera is the husk of Miramar's once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot- high risk, high opportun

As bad as Fallout 76 is, though, it pales in comparison to the way Bethesda handled communication over the game. Pre-order customers were disgusted by the presentation of the Power Armor edition of the game, with a canvas bag that failed to make it into the version dedicated buyers expected. Bethesda claimed it had been too expensive to make, but that didn't stop them from sending out a similar product to "influencers" for fr

"Like the current free-to-open system, you will be limited in the number of crates you can receive each week, with the crate prices being reset each Monday. Currently, this limit is set to 6 crates per week, and you are free to trade them on the Steam Marketplace. I also want to point out that the full cosmetic system is still being discussed internally, and we are taking your concerns into consideration when it comes to the ability to get free cosmetics by playing the ga

Despite being in early-access, PUBG is already an overwhelming success. It regularly dethrones League of Legends as the most streamed game on Twitch. It will be seeing a console release on the Xbox One by year’s end, and it seems to have cemented the battle royale arena as a fully-fledged genre in gaming. Major studios are already taking notice, with games like Grand Theft Auto Online and Fortnite adding battle royale game modes of their own. From starting as a mod-of-a-mod to serving as the basis for several major games, the journey this genre has undertaken thus far is already quite incredible. This is really just the beginning though! Who else out there is looking forward to seeing where these games go next?
