Det finns få spellägen som är hetare just nu än battle royale och orsaken till varför det är så stavas såklart Playernknown's Battlegrounds samt Fortnite. Vi har de senaste veckorna förälskat oss i spelläget i nysläppta Black Ops 4 också och ser fram emot att röja loss lite i battle royale-delen av kommande Battlefield V. Ett multiplayer-spel som däremot aldrig kommer att innehålla ett spelläge av den här typen, är Quake. Detta lovar Id Software via storbossen och Quake-pappan Tim Willits:
"You say that every great video game idea can be found in a 10-year-old's toy box. That continues with games like battle royale. It's not really that new. It's just a new take on something people already like. It's like dodgeball; there's only one person left. That's battle royale. So the best games in the future will continue to be new takes on ideas that people already like. Like CTF in Quake Champions is the next game mode coming out. We originally did not plan on having it in. But our fans are like 'Duuude we need CTF.' But the time it takes to develop games and make them successful can actually be longer than the public's interest in a game. So you need as a developer to be really careful that you don't chase trends because by the time you come out with it, people can be like, 'Really? this was like three years ago; this was fun.' If you just copy fun game modes from other games, you'll always be too late. So that's the approach we take." Länk
