When we talk about Battle Royale games, we are talking about a game where a certain number of players meet in a closed enclosure, generally an island, which must compete for one. To eliminate the enemy, the first thing to do is to obtain weapons (which are distributed by the card at random) and heals mainly.
Advertising,, Fortnite,, Legends Apex Y War area They are among the best known in Battle Royale and have played world titles, however, none of them is considered the first game of this type that has reached the market. The first one that came to the market with this theme was really not a game, was a mod of Minecraft.
Everything commented with a movie
It all started with the film with the same name. The film Royal battle This shows us how 42 young people are locked on an island for 3 days to kill each other and where it can no longer be left. To survive, they must use the weapons distributed by the island. As we can see, it is practically the same argument as the games with the exception of the area or the storm that reduce the game area which in the film is replaced by an explosive necklace.
With the first of the film Hunger gamesBased on the novel by the writer Suzanne Collins, a series of video games entitled Survival Games began to reach the market as Arma2 / / Dayz Games which shared exactly the same theme, and which were developed by Brendan Greene, known in the community under the name of Playerunknow.
Bredana Greene ended up working for Bluehole (now Krafton) creating PUBG (unknown player Battlegrounds) inspired by the film of the same name that she has always recognized that she has reached the market in 2017.
Until it adopts the free modality to play, PUBG has sold 75 million copies worldwide, placing itself as the most sold video games in history, exceeded by Minecraft, GTA V, Wii Sport and Mario Kart 8.
Steam has the record for the greatest number of simultaneous steam players with more than 3 million and currently, despite the 8 years on the market, it is still in the 5 players of this platform, almost twice as many players as Jerk He managed to come together at the same time.
As we commented above, the first game that really adapted the mechanics of the Battle Royale film was a MODRAFT mod called Hunger games.
Fortnite popularized this game mode
The Battle Royale most played today is Fortnite, a game which is initially not based on this theme but which quickly adapted it to see the success of PUBG. And we say that he popularized it because, unlike advertising was freewas available for PC, Xbox and PS4, introduced new mechanisms such as construction and was more fun and less formal. This combination of factors has managed to attract the interest of more than 125 million players in less than a year and has become the model to follow by other developers, although they did not have the same success.
One of the reasons why Fortnite remains the king of video games, not just the royal battle is to offer the possibility of playing other games in the same way as Lego supplied (a kind of Lego Minecraft), Fortnite Festival (Life's Guitar Hero), Rocket race (car routes), Lifespan (Similar to GTA) in addition to a large number of games created by the community via creative mode.
