9 Most Exciting Upcoming Battle Royale Video Games

2. Islands Of Nyne

Back to a Steam greenlight project you can hop into right now, Islands of Nyne is a more "Crysis"-looking take on the battle royale genre, played entirely in first person.

Looking to be quite far along in development, Islands of Nyne has already received copious amounts of positive coverage, essentially describing gameplay as a blend of Call of Duty/Half-Life style precision, with level design that blends a huge array of genre tropes together. There's everything from some PUBG-esque open spaces to dense forests, Halo/Crysis-style space stations and everything in between.

Weapons also run the gamut from standard fare like assault rifles and shotguns, to Nyne-enhanced versions that can make a sniper rifle into a long range assault variant. Add on personal shields and movement modifiers, and there's plenty to differentiate from the competition.
