So, battle royale games are currently being done to death, but this piques my interest a little bit because it’s not the same old generic guy with a gun running around a field or whatever CoD/Fortnite/Apex/PubG clone.

This time it’s space ships going pew pew and blowing each other up like some sort of intergalactic dog fighting championship. Space Battle Royale prepares to launch for PC via early access on November 16th, kicking off with a tournament for a shot at $1500 in prizes.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer for its early access release:

The Early Access version features deathmatch and team deathmatch modes for up to 24 players with two types of ships and five types of weapons. Battle royale, weapon upgrades, and other ship types (like the mysterious orb and AI controlled drones) will be rolled out in the coming months. 

tap into your inner engineer in the hangar. Upgrade your ships, power up the drones, and even customize the pilots themselves. Everything to build the ultimate fighting machine — and dominate the arena. 

The game is a product of a unique combination of hardcore FPS gamers, artificial intelligence experts,  and physicists that are gradually rolling out a unique set of technology enhancements to Unreal Engine to handle spatial audio, neural radiance fields, and destructible environments. 

The Space Battle Royal Features Include:

• Survival of the fittest. Master five weapon types, AI drones, and a complex system of upgrades to defeat your opponents.
• Everyone can be a pilot. Zero-G navigation and shooting mechanics are finely tuned to be approachable for beginners and rewarding for advanced players. It’s easy to start flying but it can take a lifetime to master. 
• The future of space tourism. Explore and master multiverse portals as you travel between different dimensions and collect  alien artifacts. NOTE: The safety of space tourists is absolutely not guaranteed.
