Upcoming 2019 Battle Royale Games
Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse
Ashes of Creation on paper appears to be one of the most ambitious MMORPGs we’ve seen in some time. Our short time with it back at PAX East last year was promising.
However, what we could not anticipate back then is that the game would eventually receive its very own battle royale mode called Apocalypse.
It’s a move that definitely comes off as odd, especially considering its fan base is looking forward to a game in a very different genre.
It didn’t help that its beta experience was rocky to say the least, and that stigma of it being written off as a cash-in is definitely going to exist until it can prove itself.
All of that said however, the fantasy setting in the battle royale genre is underutilized, and if developers Intrepid Games could somehow mesh the two very different experiences into something appealing, that would give it a niche that could help it stand out among the crowd.
Hopefully Intrepid Games embraces that potential angle as it continues to tweak Apocalypse alongside the main MMORPG mode.
