#Last man sitting battle royale game update#
Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it. Mavericks' battle-royale mode will sit inside a vaguely-defined MMORPG experience. The game will have a town called The Capital, which acts as a lobby for the last-man-standing matches. Here, the company says, you'll be able to customize your character and upgrade your weapons before heading into the fray. There will also be banks, shops, auction houses and a range of quest-giving NPCs.
The Capital will be part of a "persistent open world" that launches in 2019. What you will do beyond battle-royale matches, though, is unclear right now. The MMO element is important to contextualize the violence, according to Automaton CEO James Thompson. They give the hero a reason to survive and provide consequences for their actions outside the ring.īooks and movies that use the battle-royale format - the original Battle Royale novel by Koshun Takami, for instance, and The Hunger Games - often wrap the bloodshed around larger political stories. " Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides that broader narrative," Thompson said.
One with narrative, and one that's more believable. That setting, we think, even if you're focused on session-based games, makes it a richer experience."Īutomaton has some MMORPG experience. Many of its staff worked on Runescape, the popular but visually primitive browser game, and Eve: Online, the deep-space-economy simulator, before joining the company.
