Upcoming 2019 Battle Royale Games
PlanetSide Arena
While it’s easy to lambast games that appear to just be trying to cash in on the battle royale fad, there are some cases where it makes sense.
The PlanetSide series has always been about massive battles across huge maps, so it’s really not that much of a stretch to mix a battle royale mode into its well-known faction vs. faction wars.
PlanetSide Arena touts 250 vs. 250 group battles and more traditional battle royale gameplay for solo and squad players.
Again, if any game can confidently say that they will have no issues with tremendously large battles, it’s PlanetSide which has been doing it since 2003.
What will be interesting to get to see firsthand shortly when it releases on Jan. 29 is how much (or little) PlanetSide Arena will feel like other battle royale games on the market or if it will be something that’s geared more towards vets of the series.
