Unbroken Studios, a team of senior industry veterans, instrumental in developing successful franchises including Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and Call of Duty, is working on a new battle-royale game called Fractured Lands. Fractured Lands is described as an intense, drive-to-survive deathmatch where the sound of your heart pounding is drowned out only by the roar of a sea of engines.
Players will have to beat down, gun down, and run down the competition to be the lone warrior standing. A closed beta for Fractured Lands is slated for the weekends of June 8, June 22, and June 29. Those interested can register on the official website.
Players will out-drive and out-gun a myriad of survivors in high-octane multiplayer manhunts where vehicular warfare injects a breakneck sense of speed and strategy into the Battle Royale landscape.
As the press release reads, your vehicle is your greatest weapon, strongest armor and lifeline out in the wastelands. It can be mounted with scavenged upgrades, carry surplus inventory, and be used to mow down the competition. This makes it as integral to the experience as conventional arms, so stick to your ride, or even steal someone else’s wheels if you have to!
“In a broken world, danger comes from all directions. Stay alert to the rev of distant engines, gunfire, and the fall of approaching footsteps. Savage wastelanders hunt you down from every angle. You’ll need to keep an eye and ear out to take them on before they take you out. Knowing when to put pedal to the metal or jump out on foot is a calculated risk you must make. Scavenge weapons, armor, upgrades, and fuel. Stalk your enemies or make for cover and lay in wait. But don’t overlook the radioactive storm raging on the horizon. It closes in with each passing minute and will choke out even the toughest competitor.”
Paul Ohanian, Chief Executive Officer at Unbroken Studios, said:
“Fractured Lands is an experience that epitomizes our passion for this genre but also exemplifies both our experience in developing some of the best shooters in the world and our craving for something innovative, intense and gritty. We’ve got so much on the horizon in terms of new content and features, including other last one standing modes, but most of all we’re excited to have gamers join the beta and directly impact our development.”

One more. I wonder how many more “Battle Royale” PC titles are going to come out this year, 2019, and beyond ?
This game looks like a hybrid of MAD MAX and PUBG though. Pubg meets Mad Max ?
.
I’m fairly certain we will be seeing battle royale games for a long time. If you think about it. They’re starting to get tournaments and tournaments means people will always be watching the genre in some form. It’s borderline absurd how fast tournaments popped up in the genre. It was while PUBG was in early access. I know h1z1 had tournaments but they absolutely were nowhere near as popular.
The reason why I think this they’re here to stay for at least half a decade is due to the fact that you pretty much can make a battle royale mode in every single genre of game. Fps, rts, tps, space combat, mad max style car games, combat flight sims, etc.
I sure hope I’m wrong though because I’m already bored of it.
You are not. Battle Royale is just a glorified Last Man Standing mode we’ve seen already in late 90s shooters, just on a big map. The lack of big maps is why the game mode was never popular back then. But it sure is something that requires even less effort to create a template of in Unity than a previous survival fad
90’s shooters had nothing to offer that was even remotely close to Battle Royal. MUCH larger player count, a huge map, melee weapons cars and guns and a large variety of ways to move about and use the environment to your advantage… so pretty much nothing like a Last man standing mode in the 90’s.
I understand you say glorified, however that poor comparison is just a expression you use to close the gap on two things that aren’t comparable!
Duh, of course with growing processing resources the scale has grown too. UT2004’s LMS was already happening on much bigger maps and with vehicles. Even BF3 did something similar. It’s not some unique concept but it’s what is trending right now in the current form. Whole MOBA genre (which is dying now) was born from a map that simplified game mechanics of its base RTS (oooh, a dead genre).
Battle Royale is one of the most fun concepts created so far. The MOBA craze was absolutely the worst, so when you think about MOBA vs Battle Royal, consider it the lesser of two evils.
Good thing all those DayZ clones on Steam have been finished and got stable releases.
DayZ was a turd bro. The clunky ARMA mod was only bearable in the time it was released because no other game did grand scale zombie survival modes.
These same words will be said about Battle Royale (which is a clunky ARMA mod) in a few years.
If they don’t release it as free-to-play with micro transactions it will absolutely die within a month. PCGamer is a full-on SJW website where any comment outside of being a whiny liberal will be shut down so quick your head will spin, so for everyone’s sake I hope they DON’T go to that website. VG247 and DSOGaming along with Gameinformer are much better choices.
I find it funny that you visit VG247 when its a super sjw site, totally against gamergate and told to anyone who didnt like the new battlefield to leave their site. Also gameinformer? Lol that a super sjw site and corporate trash like ign.
Once again your posts are awful.
VG247 hasn’t shown themselves to me so far to be left leaning in any way that comes out as detrimental to their writing. I don’t care about gamergate. Game Informer has fantastic writers who do a great job on the vast majority of their articles. However, this is just me communicating to a devolved caveman known as Durka Durka. Not only would speaking to a brick wall be more productive, it’d be much nicer to look at as well.
VG247 and game informer are sjw sites, you are clearly a troll. So dont call me a caveman or a brick wall, you clearly are trolling.,
Durka your opinions since the inception of your profile have been absolutely worthless, and of -60 IQ quality.
Of course I will. I’m watching you always, be on your guard.
OooOOOOOoOOooOooOoo!
Well, if you gonna get battle royale might as well make it post apocalyptic. Like Rravaged, remember Ravaged?
That game died a silent death
“but also exemplifies both our experience in developing some of the best shooters in the world”
I dont know about that bud, the shooting mechanics look worse than cod.
Why?
Also, is that Australia?
