The fact that the game has systematically gone free-to-play since early release generally isn’t a good sign. Eleven players are dropped into the harsh Canadian Rockies with nothing but an axe and a bow. Scavenger Studios has essentially set the game in a sort of Hunger Games-like setting, but with an impending ice age and some interesting sci-fi cross-over elements. There is loads of crafting, traps and more to help you survive the post-apocalyptic Canadian wilderness. The multiplayer battle royale title adds a bit of a survival twist to the usual formula. But it looks like starting early next month it will be free-to-play and will be getting a nice update along with it. The game was originally available on Xbox via Game Preview with a $15 price tag. It went free on PC via Steam a couple of months back and today the developers unveiled it would be available on Xbox One next month for absolutely nothing. The new COD game is set for release in October so Fortnite will have some serious competition on its hands come fall 2018, but there are loads of interesting indie titles that are stepping into the space as well. But there’s a smaller battle royale-style game known as Darwin Project that has also caught our attention.
While Fortnite has mostly stolen the thunder from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the popular Call of Duty franchise announced it was stepping into the space with a new mode for Black Ops 4 back in May. The battle royale genre took off with PUBG a little while back and now Fortnite has taken the helm of what can only be described as the biggest gaming phenomena since Pokémon GO.
