Though PUBG remains my favorite of the genre - and actually my favorite game in any genre - many others in the battle royale community have moved on to a number of high-quality contenders, like Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, and of course the insurmountable Fortnite. As a result, battle royale totally morphed what the competitive shooter scene looks like in just a few months, and we are still seeing the ripple effects of PUBG throughout the industry three years later. PUBG took the gaming world by storm with its unrivaled tension and a commitment to hardcore win-or-go-home elements on a massive scale. Though you can trace its roots to even earlier examples in the likes of Arma 2 and Minecraft, the game widely credited with bringing battle royale to the mainstream is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ( PUBG).
There are many strong candidates, but none of them have made me more excited for the future than the rise of battle royale as a genre. Maybe it’s the ease of streaming or the continued dominance of high-quality indies. Ask someone what their favorite trend of the outgoing gaming generation is and you’ll hear many answers, but some of them will spring up often.
