Battlerite Royale Early Access release date revealed

Stunlock Studios has revealed the Early Access release date for its upcoming Battle Royale game and Battlerite spin-off Battlerite Royale. We already knew that this game would be available in September 2018, but now we know the exact day: September 26.

Battlerite Royale won't be free during Early Access, setting you back $19.99/19.99€. The developers plan on leaving Early Access within six months and then launch the game as a free-to-play title.

“Our take on the genre differs a lot from the FPS Battle Royale games out there. Battlerite has always been about arcade-like MOBA action, and we want to stay true to the core of it while scaling up the experience and adding new exciting elements,” says Johan Ilves, Marketing Director at Stunlock Studios. “With 20 different classes to pick from, a bird’s eye viewpoint and a unique combat system, we are confident that we will stand out in this crowded market. This is not only the Battle Royale game all MOBA players have been waiting for, it’s a treat for any BR gamer who wants a fresh take on the genre.”

There is an extensive FAQ for Battlerite Royale which we advise any fan to read, as it explains a lot about some choices – why not a game mode instead of a spin-off, for example – and what it brings to be a valuable addition to the Battle Royale genre, as well as system requirements and such.
