The game that in a way originally started off the Battle Royale craze is finally eyeing up a release on consoles, posing a threat to the dominance of current genre champions PUBG and Fortnite. PlayStation Plus Members will receive 20% off their preorder purchase, too. The open beta for the game is due to go live on May 22, 2018, and starting today through May 22, players can preorder a special H1Z1 bundle for $29.99 that'll grant unique in-game cosmetic items and a dynamic theme for the PS4 that will be granted at the start of open beta. The game - which has recently been retooled as a battle royale - is hitting PS4 in May: a long, long time before we'll see PUBG on the console. If you're keen to get your PUBG fix on Sony's console, this is the closest you're going to get in the meantime. This comes as we get news that H1Z1 is coming to PS4 soon. The game is for PC only but could potentially see console releases in the future. The rest of the gameplay you'll recognise: kill, survive and win. The matches will last 10 minutes, and players will have 27 heroes to choose from. This version of Battle Royale will see 20 players play on maps 30x larger than the game's regular map. 'That said, I think anyone who’s looking for a fresh and different take on the Battle Royale genre will have a blast.' 'We want to give players the excitement of a Diablo-esque exploration experience combined with the character variation of a MOBA and the thrill of a survival game,' states Stunlock marketing director Johan Ilves. The game - which started out as a MOBA - will be launching a version of the game that will compete with the likes of Fortnite and PUBG.ĭeveloper Stunlock has seen the success of games like Epic's Fortnite and Bluehole's PUBG and has decided it wants some of that prestige for itself. Battlerite is the newest game to take on the Battle Royale genre.
