Battle royales often take the form of modern-day shooters, and rarely stray from that. The big names like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Warzone all take the shooter approach, whether that be first or third person. While that isn’t inherently a bad thing, it has admittedly made this genre stale for some time. Fall Guys sought to change that and highly succeeded, and now a new contender joins the ring. Spellbreak, the upcoming mage based battle royale from Proletariat Inc., releases September 3rd for PC (Epic Games Store), PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The release will be free-to-play, with microtransactions. You can watch the visually stunning trailer, shown off at Gamescom Opening Night Live, below.
