It isn’t a shooter and it’s even played from a top-down perspective, which will immediately throw off a few people. Okay, so it’s not your standard battle royale game. It’s been around for nearly a year on Steam, but recently went Free-to-Play and honestly, I find myself surprised that it hasn’t had more success. Perhaps that’s why nobody is talking about Battlerite Royale. It’s not just Fortnite though, as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is also seeing much smaller numbers of viewers and although I still like playing the game now and again, even my interest has dropped off recently. I mean, Fortnite is still massive on the likes of Twitch and Mixer (now made even more popular with Ninja’s move), but the numbers still seem a lot lower than they used to be. Could that be because Fortnite has peaked, or is it down to the genre’s newness having waned? With Season 10 (or X, as Epic would have us say, because apparently the X is still cool) now live in Fortnite, I still haven’t seen the same level of hype and mania as in previous seasons. I used to see it everywhere on social media and on almost every gaming website, even on non-gaming sites when Fortnite took over the world for a while. It feels like the spotlight has moved away from the Battle Royale genre a bit, of late.
