It looks like some of the battle royale contenders aren’t doing too well. The Culling died (two times) and is trying to come back with a ridiculous business model, Z1 Battle Royale can barely keep over 300 active PC players, and now we have Scavengers Studio ending Darwin Project’s development.

I usually don’t care much for Battle Royale games, but Total Lockdown caught my eye because the playable female characters in the game are all busty, curvaceous chicks baring cleavage, hips, and midriffs. This isn’t something you see from American made or British designed games in this day and age, nor will you find those sort of designs from French, Swedish, or German developers. Quite naturally Panzar Studios is none of the aforementioned and hail from Russia where sexy women are still a treat in their entertainment media.

Dearly hardcore, we are gathered here today to honor or spit on the memory of Fortnite. The long running gaming series which has generated billions of dollars has died after an asteroid caused a Quantum Singularity to suck up the entire game, menu in all. Some argue this is the work of the blind idiot god, others a moronic marketing department, whatever the truth for the foreseeable future the game is has reached its conclusion.

Trends rarely remain stable over extended period of time. Often their best hope is to enjoy generational appeal, but even such an achievement doesn’t guarantee a prolonged life. Fortnite rose to prominence in 2017 and has become one of the most successful franchises to date generating 2.4 billion dollars in 2018. Now new data shows the decline of the juggernaut title is not stabilizing, but is continuing a downward trajectory. Continue reading “Fortnite Sales Down 52% Since Q2 2018”

The battle royale genre still isn’t showing any signs of dissipating and going away anytime soon, which means there will be derivative copycats popping up within the meantime. One such copycat is Alawar Premium and Blindfold’s Watchers, which at least decided not to take the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or Fortnite formula and reskin it the way Tencent and other publishers have done with their titles. Instead, Watchers is a isometric battle royale game that is free-to-play. They’re currently recruiting for testing right now, with plans to launch in the second half of 2019.
