Secret Origins: PUBG and the Battle Royale Arena

El Pozo is a city known for its large industrial and entertainment districts. Players can test themselves against all comers in the Luchador Arena, put their motorcycle skills to the test In the death bowl, or hunt in the ruins of the long dead textile factor

Rolex: PUBG Mobile was just released a few months ago, while PUBG PC has been out for quite some time. There is definitely a huge difference when it comes to both platforms. The mechanics are different, and you need to approach each in a certain way. Nonetheless, at the end of the day it still is the same game. But the pro scene on mobile most definitely uses different tactics and strategies than on

After the mod transitioned to ARMA 3 and took-off in earnest, Daybreak Game Company (formerly Sony Online Entertainment) took notice and started development of a battle royale mode for their then upcoming game "Just Survive" (formerly "H1Z1"). In relatively short order, the developer invited Greene to their studio to ask if they could use his mode in the game. Greene agreed and they wound up bringing him onboard the project as a consultant. Just Survive’s battle royale mode would come to be known as "H1Z1: King of the Kill" and helped popularize the fledgling game genre even further.

Although EA would keep to their word with Battlefield V , other titles released by the publisher still kept in these loot box microtransactions. The EA Sports line was rife with them when it came to the hugely popular Ultimate Team SLG Game Resource Management modes, including in FIFA 19 and UFC 3 , while mobile strategy spin-off _Command & Conquer: Rivals _ is plagued by microtransactions - including loot bo

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

Ever since it parachuted onto the scene, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been proving itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the gaming landscape. It’s a meteoric rise not seen since Minecraft made its early access debut back in 2009. With thousands of streamers broadcasting their skills and new players jumping in every day, its popularity is well on its way to rivaling that of the sandbox juggernaut. Where did this kind of game even come from though? New styles of gameplay don’t just spawn from the ether; they all have their origins. In the case of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the battle royale arena, it all started with a minor PC shooter called ARMA 2.

Now, however, multiplayer has evolved into something that even those who have never picked up a controller have a better understanding of. Games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have captured the imagination of the world and fused victorious phrases like "winner winner, chicken dinner" into popular culture's colloquiali

All this did was leave the gaming community telling Monolith, " I told you so ." It's a criticism that had been laid at the game at launch and every day since, and so having it sold back to players without an apology didn't do much to salvage Shadow of War . As such, its legacy remains tied to a publisher that delved too greedily and too d

Warner Bros. Interactive was perhaps feeling a little relieved that EA caught the most flack for loot boxes in 2017. After all, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War was also rife with loot boxes and subpar microtransactions, and although the game certainly was criticized for it, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was the title that represented the business model in the eyes of m

2017 truly was the year of the multiplayer game. With 2018 just a few days out, which titles best captured the feeling of forward momentum that the genre will hope to carry into a new calendar year? Game Rant has compiled a list of the games we feel are the best examples of just how incredible multiplayer games became in 2
