9 Most Exciting Upcoming Battle Royale Video Games

3. SOS

Like the Dying Light expansion, SOS also forgoes a larger player count for more interesting and unique mechanics - mainly, the fact you're on a TV show called "SOS".

The twist gameplay-wise is that three of you (at most) can win from a starting number of 15, but you're also playing to a real-life audience watching on Twitch. Just like in the Hunger Games, if your personality shines and you're performing well for "the cameras", you'll receive better care packages and bonuses in-game.

Microphones are mandatory to make sure everyone gets involved, and a tracker shows how many people are actively watching you, versus the entire match. Through here you'll receive different emotes and indicators that can help you make it out alive, and the devs (made up of ex-Dead Space, Battlefield and James Bond 007 people) have noted that "social engineering" is already playing a part in their tests, as streamers manipulate their audiences and in turn, the game, as everything unfolds.
